good to know, I have a scope and a 30MHz RF signal generator. I took some voltage measurements on the device in question and saw what seems to me like transistor like voltages. between the two outer pins was 0.7 to 1.5V, and other combinations was 6 to 8V. I couldn't really tell what could be the base, collector or emitter based on those numbers so I'm not sure what the pin is that has sound, whether it's the output or input to the device. there's just noise on all the other pins. I'm using a signal tracer by the way, a scope probe attached to an amplifier with a speaker.
