Swapped out a Furby's voice chip for a $3 buzzer and now it screams like a dying smoke alarm

My kid's 2005 Furby wouldn't shut up about random gibberish, so I ripped the old speaker out and soldered in a piezo buzzer from an old alarm clock, and now it sounds like a haunted toaster, has anyone else tried swapping sound modules on these things to get a reaction out of people?

Nah, I kind of liked the original creepy vibe it already had.

Used to totally roll my eyes at the whole "vibe" thing, thought it was just people being dramatic about old buildings. But walking through that place last week, I gotta admit, something clicked. The way the floorboards creak in a weird pattern, or how the light hits the dust in the corners, it gave me that same uneasy feeling you get when you're sure someone's watching you but nobody's there. It's different from your typical haunted house jump scare stuff, it's more like a slow, heavy feeling that sits in your chest. Guess you can't really argue with what you feel.
