A loudspeaker, for example, for an in-vehicle hands-free commnunication system or an in-vehicle entertainment system is provided as part of a vehicle sun visor ( ), or as an attachment ( ) to a vehicle sun visor so that the loudspeaker can be placed relatively close to the driver's ears and in front of the driver. Accordingly, there will not be any significant tendency for the driver to turn their head when listening to the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker comprises a flat panel ( ) which is driven by a piezo-electric actuator ( ), enabling an extremely thin construction to be realised and the loudspeaker to be conveniently integrated into the sun visor, or provided as an unobtrusive attachment for the sun visor.
