Haha I used to. True story, my wife got me one in 2015 for my bathroom - built into the exhaust fan - I listen to the news while I shower in the morning.
Six months later, over at the neighbor's house across the street for a block party, and someone asks "Hey, anyone know who's blasting NPR at 4am every day?"
Turns out the exhaust fan taking the shower moisture out basically turned into a speaker cone and for months everyone on the street was waking up pissed off lol. Replaced with a regular fan and separate speaker, no more complaints.
That's kind of amazing, actually, haha.
Did they ever find out it was you?
Yeah I totally came clean, partially because I couldn't really believe it - the bathroom I use is in the basement - but the vent goes out the same spot as the laundry exhaust and damn.... I went and turned it on and it was clear over the block party :| everyone laughed :).
Also live in a place where most sleep with the windows open - I don't think it was ever in much doubt heh. I've got pretty cool neighbors.
