Bug found in ceiling my EYE:
The photo show a HEADPHONE SPEAKER, not a mic, nor part of a bug.
Technology does exist to use a loud speaker as a mic, but not one of those little 4 ohm jobs, there's not enough impedance (a 4 ohm speaker is a dead short, more or less) and cone area to get that done. ESPECIALLY not in a ceiling with the horrendous elecrical noise flying around from lights and power cables. I tested a slightly larger version of that speaker on an expen$ive oscilloscope, the speaker could not detect my whistle beyond a foot.
Anyone with the technology to make a bug and hide it isnt going to use a speaker for a mic, especially after finding out that it wouldnt make any useful audio unless they shouted directly into it, let alone above a suspended ceiling. Anyone who is going to the trouble to hide it in the ceiling would test the unit first.
Just take any portable tape recorder and notice it wont pick up useful audio from more than a few inches away. Not a chance in a ceiling.
Some construction workers old defunct Walkan? A hoax to put a speaker in the ceiling and play "find the strange noise"? Not a bug...
PS I wrote to the "Reporter" and explained clearly that this could NOT have been a bug, sent him test data from the oscilloscope test, see the story has been left floating as if its the truth.
Cover up everywhere.
