The DJI‘s Neo 2‘s onboard speaker is one obnoxiously loud piece. So I opened it up, unplugged the speaker cable from the main board, and snipped off the loose wire and now it’s blissfully silent (except the little startup music that plays out of the motors!).

1. Loosen the 8 bolts shown in the photos.
2. Use a thin plastic prying tool to lift the bottom panel off. Be careful not to break the clips inside.
3. Use a knife to cut the glue securing the speaker plug along the edge of the connector and the plug.
4. Remove the speaker plug.
5. Optionally, snip off the loose wire for a cleaner look.
6. Ensure remaining wire is secured to the chassis so it doesn‘t dangle around — you can glue it.

If you like this sort of quieting hack, Visual Beep is a similar one with an IKEA clock.
