[0193] According to various embodiments, the first thickness (T1) of the first passage space (601) may be greater than the second passage space (602) and the fourth thickness (T4) of the fourth passage space (604). The reason why the first thickness (T1) is formed to be greater than the second thickness (T2) and the fourth thickness (T4) may be to expand the volume (e.g., width or depth) of the passage that is insufficient with only the space between the second support member (22) and the metal plate (52) (e.g., the second passage space (602) and the fourth passage space (604)). The first thickness (T1) is formed to be larger than the second thickness (T2) and the fourth thickness (T4), which can reduce the pressure inside the sound wave passage (600) by expanding the volume of the passage and lowering the speed of sound compared to the comparative example where this is not the case, thereby reducing the pressure difference between the inside of the sound wave passage (600) and the outside of the sound wave passage (600), thereby reducing the occurrence of unwanted vibrations.

[0194] According to various embodiments, the third thickness (T3) of the third passage space (603) may be greater than the fourth thickness (T4) of the second passage space (602) and the fourth passage space (604). The third thickness (T3) being formed to be greater than the second thickness (T2) and the fourth thickness (T4) may be formed to expand the volume (e.g., width or depth) of the passage that is insufficient with only the space between the second support member (22) and the metal plate (52) (e.g., the second passage space (602) and the fourth passage space (604)). The third thickness (T3) is formed to be larger than the second thickness (T2) and the fourth thickness (T4), which can reduce the pressure inside the sound wave passage (600) by expanding the volume of the passage and lowering the sound speed compared to the comparative example where this is not the case, thereby reducing the pressure difference between the inside of the sound wave passage (600) and the outside of the sound wave passage (600), thereby reducing the occurrence of unwanted vibrations.

[0195] According to various embodiments, the third thickness (T3) of the third passage space (603) may be greater than the first thickness (T1) of the first passage space (601). The third thickness (T3) being formed to be greater than the first thickness (T1) can reduce the pressure within the sound passage (600) by expanding the volume of the passage and lowering the sound speed compared to a comparative example in which the third thickness (T3) is formed to be greater than the first thickness (T1), thereby reducing the pressure difference between the inside of the sound passage (600) and the outside of the sound passage (600), thereby reducing the occurrence of unwanted vibrations.

[0196] According to various embodiments, a metal cover (53) may be disposed between the first support member (21) and the first PCB (24) to block the speaker opening (500) of the first PCB (24).
