| Hmm... why does it distort the interal speaker?

With the caps the transducer experiences -~1.5V .. +~1.5V worth of
deflection "down" and "up"; without the caps it experiences 0 .. ~3V
worth all "up".  So it's physically unable to deflect enough linearly I
would think.

It is electrically possible but all of this is in a metal can with very
constrained height since the case and then battery sits on top of it.
