My in laws gifted my kid this pretty cool RC car but it makes this awful music that’s REALLY loud. Can I wire a resistor in series on one of the speaker legs to turn the volume down, say 50%?

Yes, but it might be easier to stick a gum on the membrane? Or is it a small tweeter?

Yeah, the easy parenting hack for noisy toys is a piece of tape over the speaker. Doesn’t always work, but it won’t cost you much to find out.

Interesting! Taping the speaker could be a good move
