A voice will be emitted at the position. Therefore, the user's voice is greatly attenuated between the first and second vibrating membranes 12 and 22, and a difference appears in the intensity of the user voice included in the first and second voltage signals. In contrast, the noise component is hardly attenuated between the first and second diaphragms 12 and 22 because the sound source is farther than the user's voice. Therefore, it can be considered that there is no difference in the intensity of noise included in the first and second voltage signals.

- the noise intensity ratio indicating the ratio of the intensity of the noise component included in the differential signal to the intensity of the noise component included in the first or second voltage signal is the intensity of the audio component included in the differential signal. If the ratio is smaller than the voice intensity ratio indicating the ratio of the voice component contained in the first or second voltage signal, it can be evaluated that this noise removal function has been realized.

- An integrated circuit device may be manufactured using data indicating the relationship.
- Figure 5 shows an example of data representing the correspondence between phase difference and intensity ratio when the horizontal axis is ⁇ / 2 ⁇ and the vertical axis is the intensity ratio (decibel value) based on the phase component of noise. Show.
- phase difference ⁇ can be expressed by a function of ⁇ ⁇ / e which is a ratio of the distance ⁇ ⁇ to the wavelength as shown in the equation (12), and the horizontal axis of FIG. / Can be regarded as eh.
- Fig. 5 can be said to be data showing the correspondence between the intensity ratio based on the phase component of noise and A r / ⁇ .
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure for manufacturing the integrated circuit device 1 using this data.
- step S10 First, data (see Fig. 5) showing the correspondence between the intensity ratio of noise (the intensity ratio based on the phase component of noise) and ⁇ ⁇ / e is prepared (step S10).

Further, the distance between the sound source of the user voice and the integrated circuit device 1 (first and second vibrating membranes 12, 22) can be controlled by the design of the casing. Therefore, the value of Ar / R, which is the intensity ratio of the input voice (user's voice), is larger than 0.1 (noise intensity ratio), indicating that the noise reduction function is realized.
- noise is not limited to a single frequency.
- noise having a lower frequency than the noise assumed as the main noise has a longer wavelength than the main noise, so that the value of / e becomes smaller and is removed by this integrated circuit device.
- the sound wave decays faster as the frequency is higher. For this reason, noise having a higher frequency than the noise assumed as the main noise attenuates faster than the main noise, so that the influence on the integrated circuit device can be ignored. Therefore, the integrated circuit device according to the present embodiment can exhibit an excellent noise removal function even in an environment where noise having a frequency different from that assumed as main noise exists.

- the integrated circuit device 1 it is also possible to remove the user sound component incident on the integrated circuit device 1 after being reflected by a wall or the like. Specifically, since the sound source of the user sound reflected by the wall or the like is incident on the integrated circuit device 1 after propagating over a long distance, it can be regarded as being farther than the sound source of the normal user sound, and the reflection causes a large energy Therefore, as with the noise component, the sound pressure is not greatly reduced between the first and second vibrating membranes 12 and 22. Therefore, according to the integrated circuit device 1, the user voice component incident after being reflected by a wall or the like is also removed (as a kind of noise) in the same manner as noise.
