There is another way to solve this issue. You can buy an amplified speaker.
They are not expensive.

It could be small and still sound good. IIt could be on the back of
the unit. It might make the unit a bit larger depending on design,
but it would be hugely worth it and this is no opinion. It may well
be a bad idea, but it is a customer request.

sounded. It'd also make the unit larger, and I'd complain about that. The
speaker idea is a bad one.
