Technologies are generally described for modifying sound output in a personal communication device. Example devices described herein may include one or more of a communication unit, an audio processor, and/or a sound leakage detector. A communication signal may be received from the other party during personal communication by the communication unit. The communication signal may be converted by the audio processor into receiver sound for output by a receiver speaker. The sound leakage detector may provide a sound leakage indication if the sound leakage detector receives an input indicating a leakage of the receiver sound being output by the receiver speaker. Further, the audio processor may modify the receiver sound based on the sound leakage indication.
