Yes , this little thing had a built in speaker that sounded pretty good considering it's size. There is a version that has a built in speaker in the back, and there is a version that does not. Get the one with the speaker, it's worth it !

If the question is does the speaker still work while unplugged it does if it's charged. It is not an electric generator however.

Is it a ground hum? Because if the speaker has a hum, there is nothing wrong with the speaker itself.

Yes it is. Quite a bit. I bought 3 of these speakers. I have a Galaxy S4 and the sound is not as good unless you add this speaker to the phone. Hope this helps.

No. U need to turn it on. This a a rugged portable beast. Look at Bose Soundlink for similar price, shape, and size, but better sound for something that will sit in a permanent spot.

It doesn't have a built in speaker. I connect to the audio output with headphones.

No, this is strictly a line in speaker. You will have to control the volume from the device.

The speaker is bluetooth so when you turn it on your device with link up with it. Or there is a cord connected to it to plug into anotger device

As noted it's active. Downside is it will not take input from my receiver so I have to run everything via Bluetooth, TV or Ipod Dock. No Go for CD play. Sounds very good but sounds too directional when your in front of it. Ok for TV and movies. For music play sounds better if your anywhere BUT in front of it.

It is NOT powered but there is a powered model available. My only problem with a powered speaker is that if the internal amp is broken, the speaker is unusable and can NOT be equalized like an external amp with an electric equalizer.

Yes. I left a review about this; I like it, it serves my purposes well but the speaker is super sensitive. You can't even put a piece of paper near the front of the speaker without it feeding back terribly, but that's when it's cranked up to full volume. Other than that, I like it. For the money I'd recommend it.

No, it is not supposed to make a sound unless engaged. Send it back for another one.

The speakers are excellent. They are not active speakers, they require an amplifier to drive them.
