Try this:
Get one of those single-serving creamer containers. Empty it, and then super glue a small magnet on the *inside* against the bottom.
Then, wrap a wire around the outside a lot. At this point, you have a simple speaker.
In reverse, however, it will act like a microphone (though it will output a current instead of vary a resistance).
