Electronic – How to prevent microphone from picking up movement

audiomicrophone

I have a MEMS microphone mounted to a PCB in an enclosure. The purpose of the microphone is to detect sound, like someone talking. When I just barely touch the enclosure or move it around, the microphone detects it.

How can you de-couple the microphone from the circuit board and enclosure so it doesn't detect physical movement of the enclosure? How do other devices like smartphones deal with this?

Consider wher the vibration is coupling from, the ambient noise (-ve) pressure vs the acoustic port (+) pressure and use suitable vibration decoupling rubber gasket seals. The MEMs mic acts as a differential pressure sensor. So the coupling needs to be reduced to balance emanated source pressure via input acoustic port.
