    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of control and security of a voice controlled device. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a signal input for receiving a command signal and a soundwave damper to dampen a sound receiving capability of a voice controlled device. The voice controlled device is capable of initiating a responsive action in response to a voice command. A processor determinations that the command signal is associated with the voice command and in response to the determination generate with a speaker a soundwave carrying the voice command bypassing the soundwave damper such that the soundwave carrying the voice command is communicable to the microphone of the voice controlled device. The apparatus also includes a cap housing the speaker and optionally the soundwave damper. As an example, the soundwave damper may be a barrier, a flexible membrane, or a sound interference generator.
