A method and apparatus for antenna parameter notification is provided. At a device comprising: at least one processor, an antenna, a proximity sensor and a speaker, a parameter associated with performance of the antenna is determined by the processor. When the parameter meets a given criteria, and when the proximity sensor detects proximity, then the processor changes audio of sound played at the speaker.

1. A device comprising: at least one processor, an antenna, a proximity sensor and a speaker, the at least one processor configured to: determine a parameter associated with performance of the antenna, the parameter comprising an impedance of the antenna;when the parameter meets a given criteria, and when the proximity sensor detects proximity, then change audio of sound played at the speaker, the given criteria comprising the impedance being out of a given range thereby indicating impedance mismatch between the antenna and associated radio equipment; and, change a volume of the speaker as a function of the parameter, such that change in the volume of the speaker varies according to the parameter. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the parameter further comprises a SAR (specific absorption rate) level, and the given criteria correspondingly further comprises the SAR level exceeding a threshold SAR level. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the parameter further comprises voice quality provided at the speaker, and the given criteria correspondingly further comprises the voice quality being below a given voice quality threshold level. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the proximity sensor comprises one or more of an IR (infrared) diode/detector combination, a capacitive sensor, a capacitive displacement sensor, a Doppler effect sensor, a laser sensor, an optical sensor, an acoustic sensor, a passive optical sensor, a charge-coupled device, a passive thermal infrared sensor, a photocell sensor, a magnetometer, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and an altimeter. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the proximity sensor is located adjacent the speaker, such that the proximity sensor can sense a head-hand mode of the device. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the audio of the sound played at the speaker is changed to a given volume predetermined to cause discomfort to a human being when the speaker is adjacent an ear of the human being. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to change one or more of a tone and a message played at the speaker as a function of the parameter, such that change in the one or more of the tone and the message varies according to the parameter. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to monitor the parameter and change the audio of the sound played at the speaker in a feedback loop with the parameter. 9. The device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the device is flexible and the processor is further configured to change the audio of the sound played at the speaker as a shape of the device changes. 10. A method comprising: at a device comprising at least one processor, an antenna, a proximity sensor and a speaker, determining, at the processor, a parameter associated with performance of the antenna, the parameter comprising an impedance of the antenna;when the parameter meets a given criteria, and when the proximity sensor detects proximity, then changing audio of sound played at the speaker, the given criteria comprising the impedance being out of a given range thereby indicating impedance mismatch between the antenna and associated radio equipment; and, comprising changing a volume of the speaker as a function of the parameter, such that change in the volume of the speaker varies according to the parameter. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the parameter further comprises a SAR (specific absorption rate) level, and the given criteria correspondingly further comprises the SAR level exceeding a threshold SAR level. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the parameter further comprises voice quality provided at the speaker, and the given criteria correspondingly further comprises the voice quality being below a given voice quality threshold level. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the audio of the sound played at the speaker is changed to a given volume predetermined to cause discomfort to a human being when the speaker is adjacent an ear of the human being. 14. The method of claim 10, further comprising changing one or more of a tone and a message played at the speaker as a function of the parameter, such that change in the one or more of the tone and the message varies according to the parameter. 15. The method of claim 10, further comprising monitoring the parameter and changing the audio of the sound played at the speaker in a feedback loop with the parameter. 16. The method of claim 10, wherein at least a portion of the device is flexible and the method further comprises changing the audio of the sound played at the speaker as a shape of the device changes. 17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, wherein execution of the computer program is for: at a device comprising at least one processor, an antenna, a proximity sensor and a speaker, determining, at the processor, a parameter associated with performance of the antenna, the parameter comprising an impedance of the antenna;when the parameter meets a given criteria, and when the proximity sensor detects proximity, then changing audio of sound played at the speaker, the given criteria comprising the impedance being out of a given range thereby indicating impedance mismatch between the antenna and associated radio equipment; and, comprising changing a volume of the speaker as a function of the parameter, such that change in the volume of the speaker varies according to the parameter.
