A linear resonant actuator controller for a mobile device having a linear resonant actuator is described. The linear resonant actuator controller comprises a controller output configured to be coupled to a linear resonant actuator; an audio processor having an audio processor input and an audio processor output coupled to the controller output. The audio processor is configured to receive an audio signal comprising speech, to process the audio signal by attenuating the audio signal frequency components at the resonant frequency of the linear resonant actuator with respect to at least some other audio signal frequency components, and to output the processed audio signal on the audio processor output.
