To reproduce sound in an extremely compact size, fluid injectors are used that can generate fluid flow sufficient to create a desired acoustic pressure wave, but which fluid flow operates in a manner that is decoupled from the desired acoustic pressure wave. Fluid flow within the fluid injectors needed to generate the desired acoustic pressure wave need not be directly proportional to the frequencies of the desired acoustic pressure wave. The fluid injector has a control input capable of altering fluid flow relative to a received control signal, which is generated by a controller in response to an electrical signal. The fluid injector produces fluid flow outward and inward in response to the control signal, thereby creating an acoustic wave proportional to the electrical signal. The devices herein may employ valves or not. Synthetic jets may also be used.

The aim of the invention is to produce a sound generator for eliminating interference by means of sound absorption and for reproducing signals, speech and music. The sound is preferably generated by means of micro- and nano-mechanical air pumps (12) whose output flow is controlled by the actuator (16) according to the required sound signal and exits via a sound channel (11); the complementary channel (11') acting on a closed buffer volume (15). As with conventional loudspeaker enclosures, the function of the buffer volume (15) is to make an acoustic monopole radiator out of the ineffective dipole of the sound channel (11) and the channel (11'). In the case of air pumps (12) with high pressure ratios, the necessary buffer volume is correspondingly small. The sound-generating volume flow is measured in the sound channel (11) by means of a micromechanical flowmeter (18) and can be readjusted according to a comparison of the desired value and the actual value. Finally, a bore (19) with a high flow resistance balances out air pressure fluctuations and drift errors in the buffer volume (15).
