NASA included an acoustic speaker on the Curiosity rover.
The claim is incorrect because NASA included an acoustic microphone and speaker system on the Perseverance rover (Mars 2020), not the Curiosity rover.
The claim specifies that NASA included an acoustic speaker on the Curiosity rover. Looking at the retrieved literature, the acoustic instrument (SuperCam microphone and associated acoustic tests using laser sparks) is part of the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover, not Curiosity. Therefore, the claim is refuted by attributing Perseverance hardware to Curiosity.
