A Pioneering Yorkshire firm has invented an invisible sound system which is set to revolutionise audio technology.
FeONIC, a spin-out company from Hull University, designed the F-Drive, which is capable of turning almost any surface into a high-quality loudspeaker.
The company also came up with the Whispering Window, which uses glass panes as speakers.

which is capable of turning almost any surface into a high-quality loudspeaker.
The device is based on 'smart' material technology, a class of metals that is highly reactive to magnetic fields. When the device is connected to a particular surface, it converts it into a powerful non-directional speaker suitable for use for audio reproduction and public address speaking.
it seems what they're saying is that they can put this special metal on any surface, not that they can turn moobs into a speakers, sadly.

Flies, if you've seen the soundbug, it attaches to the surface in question via a suction cup.
Basically it can produce vibrations strong enough to resonate the entire surface to produce sound...so it depends on the sound dampening nature of the material you're using. I would say subcutaneous fat would not be a good resonating medium, however...
Also, ew to image of vibrating moobs.
