Sound button device

A sound button, comprising:

• a shell having a portion with a reduced circumference;
• a switch operably connected to a printed circuit board (“PCB”);
• a button cap assembly operably connected to the shell, the button cap assembly comprising:
• a button cap having at least one recess, the at least one recess having a hole;
• and
• a speaker facing toward the button cap;
• where, when a force is applied to the button cap, the button cap and the speaker move together to actuate the switch, thereby causing the speaker to emit a sound;
• and
• where the hole transmits the sound.

A sound button, comprising:

• a shell having a substantially vertical surface and a substantially horizontal surface;
• a switch operably connected to a printed circuit board (“PCB”);
• a button cap assembly operably connected to the shell, the button cap assembly comprising:
• a button cap having at least one recess and a hole;
• and
• a speaker facing an air space in the button cap;
• where, when a force is applied to the button cap, the button cap and the speaker move together to actuate the switch, thereby causing the speaker to emit a sound;
• and
• where the substantially vertical surface and the substantially horizontal surface capture or slow a flow of contaminants from the top of the button.
