Hidden Mic in Playbar?

Hi, due to some stalker issues, I’ve had to locate and disable all the microphones lurking in my home.  A recent sweep of the whole house lit up my old-fashioned Sonos Playbar as having a hidden microphone in the front right area.  The technician was adamant that his microphone-hunting device was keying on a mic hidden behind the fabric of the Playbar.  I did’t feel like destroying the front of the Playbar to uncover the mic, so we just unplugged it until I could get some feedback on this.  Any ideas?

Look for signs that PLAYBAR has been disassembled.

You all have been great.  I think the signal must be the 5Ghz wifi doing its thing rather than a microphone.  I’m not convinced, but this has given me a few ideas on how to proceed.  As anything beyond this point would certainly not be recommended by Support, I’m going to call this issue settled, and take it from here offline.  Thank you all for throwing some brain power toward this one.   On the very slim chance that I actually discover a mic in there (once/if) I commit to opening the unit up, I will definitely note it here along with a few photos.  (No indication it has ever been disassembled).

 

Regards, R

    More chance of Potting Fog than finding a microphone in a Playbar imho..
