    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure, a display positioned with the enclosure and defining a front face of the electronic device, and a haptic actuator positioned within the enclosure. The haptic actuator includes a housing comprising a wall and a movable mass positioned within the housing and configured to move within the housing to cause the haptic actuator to produce a vibrational response. The vibrational response includes a first component within a frequency range and a second component outside of the frequency range and providing a haptic output portion of the vibrational response. The haptic actuator also includes a tuning feature incorporated with the wall and configured to reduce the first component of the vibrational response while substantially maintaining the haptic output portion of the vibrational response.
