1. A speaker, comprising:
a housing having a sidewall;
a transducer residing inside the housing and configured to generate vibrations, the vibrations producing a sound wave inside the housing; and
a sound guiding hole located on a lower portion of the sidewall, the sound guiding hole being configured to guide the sound wave inside the housing through the sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing, the guided sound wave interfering with a leaked sound wave of the speaker in a target region, and the interference reducing a sound pressure level of the leaked sound wave in the target region.
