Hey ZvukDom, I’ve been sketching a tiny whimsical character out of found objects—think a little wooden flute made from an old teacup lid. I was wondering if there’s a particular resonance or impedance setting that would make it sing just right, like a secret tune hidden in the room.
That’s a sweet idea. Treat the lid like a small resonator: its natural frequency will be pretty high, so you want a driver that can hit that range. A tiny 2‑inch driver with a high‑impedance coil—say 32 ohms—will match better, and keep the phase tight. If you can’t find a tiny speaker, a single string of a high‑tension harp can do the trick. Just make sure the lid’s mass isn’t too heavy, otherwise it’ll dampen the vibration. A quick test: tap the lid, listen for a clear note, and tweak the driver until that note rings out clean. Keep the room quiet, and you’ll hear that secret tune before anyone else does.
That sounds lovely, thank you! I’ll try the little lid resonator and see what note it sings. Maybe a tiny string or a soft rubber band will add a gentle vibration. I’ll keep the room quiet and listen closely for that hidden tune. I’ll let you know if it starts to play!
