Sound Receive Frequency Response (6.89)
This test analyzes how the phone handles incoming sound frequencies. As you can see from the chart, the Juke is outside the limits fairly consistently, then plummets down a little too early. But there are no huge peaks or troughs in the curve, so most voices will sound fine, albeit a little bit clipped at the higher frequencies.

Sound Send Frequency Response (8.37)
The Juke actually does much better with handling your own voice. As you can see in the graph, the Juke stays within the limits for the entire stretch. It drops off a bit early, so higher frequencies might be slightly clipped, although this is not likely to affect your voice much.

Handset Side Tone (5.02)
Side tone refers to how much of your own voice the phone plays back to you while you talk. We use side tone to measure how loudly we're speaking; if it's too quiet, we tend to raise our voices, too loud and we feel like we should whisper. The Juke measured 22.88 decibels, which really isn't far off from the ideal measurement, 18 decibels. You might feel a bit loud on the Juke, but not so much that you'll feel the need to drop your voice considerably.
| Cell Phone | Side Tone Measurement | Score |
| Samsung Juke | 22.88 | 5.02 |
| LG Chocolate Vx8550 | 17.85 | 9.85 |
| Sony Ericsson W580i | 18.77 | 9.23 |
| Razr2 V9m | 17.78 | 9.78 |
| Samsung Blast | 19.56 | 8.44 |
| Apple iPhone | 8.80 | 0.80 |
