'''Microphonics''', '''microphony''', or '''microphonism'''<ref name="ActaTechnica_1956"/><ref name="Korn_1956"/><ref name="Electronics_1956"/> describes the phenomenon wherein certain components in [[Electronics|electronic]] devices transform mechanical [[vibration]]s into an undesired electrical signal ([[noise (electronics)|noise]]). The term comes from analogy with a [[microphone]], which is intentionally designed to convert vibrations to electrical signals.
