1. An electronic device comprising:
a speaker having a speaker port and a speaker cavity; and
an antenna module having
a first dielectric wall that defines a first edge of an antenna cavity,
a second dielectric wall that defines a second edge of the antenna cavity,
an antenna resonating element disposed on the first dielectric wall within the antenna cavity;
a positive antenna feed terminal coupled to the antenna resonating element; and
vents in the second dielectric wall, the vents being aligned with the speaker port, the speaker being configured to emit sound waves, and the vents being configured to convey a portion of the sound waves into and out of the antenna cavity.
