I had the idea to build a [talkbox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box) from an Organelle M. The result looked like this:

However, as it turns out, this **does not work at all**. The problem ultimately is, that the speaker has not enough power and isn’t build for that kind of usage. Also, it’s hard to get a good enough seal without glueing the funnel to the body (which I didn’t want to do). Sound might also leak into the body of the Organelle, which reduces the output further.

Just wanted to leave this here as a warning to spare you the hassle. 😅
