There is something inside which make them vibrate. Yes there's an acoustic element to them I recall, about 3.5 cm (2.54 cm = 1") diameter, pack of 2. Pick one up & it feels like an outer stainless steel shell, connected by springs to an inner weight. Reflex was to want to saw it apart to see what was inside, & how they assembled the 2 halves. I suppose spot welding, then circular rim welding, then polishing then stainless steel finish ?
