Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of enhanced control, customization, and/or security of a sound controlled device such as a voice controlled assistance device. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a signal input, a speaker, and a soundwave damper to dampen a sound receiving capability of a sound controlled device. The sound controlled device initiates a responsive action to a sound command received on a microphone, and may be a voice controlled assistance device. Upon receiving a command signal the apparatus utilizes a processor and a memory to determine an association between the command signal and an audio file storing the sound command and converts the audio file into an audio signal. The speaker is utilized to bypass the soundwave damper such that the sound command is received at the microphone of the sound controlled device, initiating the responsive action as a result of the command signal.
