Which best contrasts electric doorbells and audio speakers?

Audio speakers produce sound by moving a cone back and forth, so the current in their coils rapidly changes direction to create alternating magnetic forces. A typical electric doorbell uses current in one direction to energize an electromagnet and move its striker; it does not rely on rapid current reversals. Therefore, the best contrast is that speakers involve rapid changes in current direction, while doorbells do not.
