Does anyone know where the noise cancelling mic is located on the Galaxy Nexus? I'm thinking of getting a case but don't want the case to cover that second mic.
Thanks!
Looking at the back of your phone, look at the top of the battery lid, to the right of the camera lens. It is right there, small hole.
It is not a noise cancellation mic.
That is the mic for hands-free call and (i think) for videorecording.
But I'm sure that isn't for noise cancellation
There is no noise cancellation on the GN for phone calls. Some have suggested that it's there for video recording, but I haven't seen an example of that.

Hi Everybody,
is anyone else noticing the speaker grill hole aren't completely drilled through?
Also,
much more importantly,
is anyone else hearing a metallic grating noise when sound is played through the speakers? This isn't just high volume distortion, its constantly present even at low volumes. Very shrill, ratchety, and really annoying. Hoping to return and get a new unit if I'm not the only one with these problems.

I can't speak to the noise you're talking about, but the speakers not being drilled all the way through has been discussed several times before. The speakers don't go all the way across, so there's no need for the holes to be drilled all the way through. The extra holes are just cosmetic.
So guys, how's the loudspeaker on this device? The voice loudness and clarity is good for call conference on loudspeaker?
Yep very loud and good speaker in the earpiece.
It gets pretty loud. Weird thing is the loudspeaker is right where the earpiece is, which helps so you don't have to turn your phone onto the glass to get the best sound from the back of it.
Seriously thinking about getting the JBL Moto mod for it.

So from the video it's hard to hear which speaker but you can easily hear the change. Basically what's happening is when listening to music or watching a video audio comes through both speakers. However, when you get a notification all audio stops briefly while it switches to just the bottom speaker, and then stops briefly again to switch back to both speakers. Once it switches to the bottom speaker it gets quieter and audio sounds noticably worse. And if you get multiple notifications at just the right intervals it creates a very choppy listening experience. I don't know if this is intentional or not but I find it very annoying and it makes it feel like the speakers were and afterthought. Also, why do speakerphone calls still come out of the bottom speaker? Why does it not do both like music or videos?
If someone created stereo alert sounds, would it maybe be an easy fix for the contrast in volume and mono source? Basically be a less stark a contrast? Same sound through both speakers on top of the music in the background.
Totally different topic, but somewhat related - I was going through online reviews today and I think a CNET video mentioned that someone determined the top speaker is tuned to 10 db less than the bottom. They basically ran left the same sound through the "left" speaker and then right. And by using another phone and a decibel meter app showed the top is quieter. Then they said something like when the engineers were tuning the audio, when both were balanced, there was distortion from the top speaker. But when both were balanced, but low enough that there was no distortion, it was too quiet. So they chose to go lower on top and higher on the bottom to have a better overall volume, without distortion. I wasn't listening so close so didn't catch if that was speculation on why or someone divulged that.
I searched later and couldn't find the original source, so it might be something someone just noticed.
Speakerphone coming through the bottom speaker is so some dumbass hole won't have it on speaker phone and hold it to their ear and get blasted in their ear and then try to sue Google

Bwahahahahaha...Very Nice!
Anyone experience a noise from the display speaker like a slight buzzing or hum during calls? It only seems to affect calls (not media) and only when my ear is positioned just above the exciter. MKBHD also mentioned this noise in his review. I went back to T-Mobile to listen to the floor model and it sounded clean. I also posted on reddit with other responding that their units had no noise. Unfortunately the store won't let me return it without charging me because none of the employees could hear the sound, or they said that it's too small an issue.

I've noticed the same thing, sometimes it sounds kind of like static, but the rest sounds like a mild buzzing. I only notice it some of the time on phone calls. Do you have a case on your phone as well? Might be worth taking the case off and see if it still happens.
