Though that film does serve a purpose. So if you don't want to risk having dust build up under the screen and stuff. I suggest that you don't go about on doing this operation.
Assuming the film is an actual speaker component, in addition to an increase in volume, you'll also get a decrease in sound quality (though those who feel a burning urge to play their music at full volume for the benefit of everyone in the vicinity rarely notice when it sounds like shit). Take the ER-6i for example. Each earbud comes with a filter, which is essentially a small plastic cylinder with a thin film over the top. When the film is intact, the headphones sound terrific. If it is clogged, they sound muffled. If it is pierced, they become louder and sound terrible. Of it is removed, they are even louder and sound nearly as bad as stock iPod earbuds.
"I'm moving to a small studio and for some reason the cable connection is in an awkward place and I need a way to transmit HD quality video and audio no more than 20 feet away. What is the best wireless HDMI transmitter / receiver for this situation? Thanks!"

You guys shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. You are going to destroy your speaker if you poke a hole in it.
The actual speak is really somewhere on the upper portion of the phone. The piece where you puncture the film is just a vent.

You assume people, like you, are reading things on the internet.
If you had read the forum thread, you'd know that there wasn't a speaker behind the holes. It's a port that routes sound from the actual speaker...
