A voice-controlled faucet, comprising:

• a spout;
• a base configured to support the spout, the base comprising:
• an outer cylindrical wall, extending vertically and defining an internal space;
• a first opening, penetrating a first side of the outer cylindrical wall;
• and
• a second opening, penetrating a second side of the outer cylindrical wall, which is opposite to the first side;
• an electrically operable flow control assembly disposed beneath the base, including a controller and an electrically activated valve controlled by the controller, which is fluidly coupled with a water source and to a nozzle of the spout for dispensing water from the water source;
• a sound receiving unit, fixed to the base and electrically connected to the controller, the sound receiving unit comprising:
• a first housing, disposed in the first opening, the first housing comprising a first back panel, a first lid covered on the first back panel and a first space formed therebetween, wherein the first lid comprises one or more tapered through-holes penetrating in a thickness direction, each of the one or more tapered through-holes comprises an outer opening, an inner opening smaller than the outer opening and a cylindrical wall tapering from the outer opening to the inner opening;
• and
• one or more microphone assemblies, disposed in the first space and electrically connected to the electrically operable flow control assembly, wherein each of the one or more microphone assemblies comprises one or more microphones laterally align with the one or more tapered through-hole;
• and
• a speaker unit, fixed to the base and electrically connected to the sound receiving unit, the speaker unit comprising:
• a second housing, disposed in the second opening, comprising a second back panel, a second lid covered the second back panel and a second space formed therebetween, wherein the second lid comprises a plurality of first perforations and a plurality of second perforations penetrating in a thickness direction, wherein the plurality of first perforations located above the plurality of second perforations, and the plurality of second perforations are disposed close to a lower edge of an inner brim of the second lid and extended along an upper plane of the inner brim of the second lid so as to form a drainage path away from the second space to outside;
• and
• one or more speakers, located within the second space and disposed corresponding to the plurality of first perforations.
