For reference, it's a whole genre. Not to be confused with appliances that have speakers and bzzt or beep or play jingles or whatever, or for that matter also musical tesla coils, those are much more like speakers.

It's been a part of computer culture since pretty much forever, now kinda dying out because nothing is mechanical any more.
