A speaker apparatus (300) has a container (310, 370) holding a volume of ferrofluid (390), a permanent magnet (320) suspended in the ferrofluid, and a magnetic excitation apparatus (320) proximate the container. Operation of the excitation apparatus (320) causes movement of the permanent magnet (350), translated through the ferrofluid to walls of the container, which walls act as resonators creating sound waves in surrounding medium. Audio production is accomplished placing a ferrofluid (390) and a permanent magnet in a container (310, 370), placing an excitation apparatus (320) in proximity of the permanent magnet (350), and driving the excitation apparatus (320) to cause movement of the permanent magnet (350) translated through the ferrofluid (390) to walls of the container (310, 370), which walls act as resonators creating sound waves in surrounding medium.
