I’m not sure if iam explaining correctly but I was looking into vibrations, frequencies, soundwaves and how microphones work.
(Looking into doesn’t mean I know or understand any of it, nor do I pretend to lol)
If microphones worked as so “When sound waves hit the diaphragm, it vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet’s field, generating an electrical current” am assuming the electrical current is then sent to the amp or speaker.
Let’s use the word “hello” for example.
When someone says hello it produces a sound wave / acoustic wave / electrical current?…. If so, is there a certain signature assigned/associated with your sound wave “hello” and if so is it measured in decibels frequencies? Tones? Volts? And can it be recreated without someone physically saying hello?
For example can someone make a vibration to mimic your sound wave of hello? By hitting a certain object, if they knew the exact tone/frequency? Also/or can you make an electrical current that mimics your hello sound wave?
I understand a little about a recorded player but can someone go onto the computer and reproduce a certain tone/frequency and it says “hello” I’m not sure if that makes sense lol.

The short answer is “yeah”. That’s exactly what a speaker is doing. It is recreating the sound of your “hello”. Modern AI software can fully fake your voice pretty convincingly.
Now, doing this with some kind of mechanical instrument like a guitar is so difficult as to be more or less impossible, but there is no fundamental reason it couldn’t be done.
As for how your “hello” is measured, it could either be measured in the time domain like a recording does where it samples sound pressure, or it could be measured in the frequency domain but this gets considerably more complicated if you’re doing it properly (by properly I mean fully in the frequency domain, no time component).
