When I saw a wall outlet cover for "audiophiles", it's hard to be surprised about anything anymore

How can anyone write an article like that without being too embarrassed to ever show their face again?
Really dumb snake oil. Dunce caps for everyone who believes that item could do anything at all besides looking weird.

It could make very slight ringing noises via sympathetic resonance I guess.
Why anyone would want that is another question entirely.

Great question.
If it did anything audible, it would be due to the vibration you mention, so could it add a bit of sonic excitement for someone? It seems it would be a monotonous thing to add, if it did anything that one could perceive. Perhaps some treble-ish sort of airy thing? I can't come up with anything very constructive.
They also make these babies...
Meow GR Pink Gold Edition
Meow GR Pink Gold takes a luxurious approach on both appearance and sound aspect. The Trio Meow shines brightly on the audio device contributing warmness and lush ambient to the sound system. The reference ground cable made of 6N OCC Single Crystal is prepared in the set. Install Meow GR Pink...
It's easy to say mean things, the manufacturer may believe what he claims, but I have to say I'm not the target audience for this.
If this thing does what it's supposed to do, (big if) it would resonate with certain high frequencies and increase the decay time and apparent sources around the room for treble content. You might call this "immersive audio for superstitious idiots".Great question.

Those things remind me of Frank Tchang's acoustic resonators. This "Lotus Harmonic Enhancer" is based on a "Nepalese singing bowl", while the Tchang resonator is based on a "Japanese singing bowl". Other similarities - grandiose name (check!), based on Asian mysticism (check!), enhances soundstage (check!), nonverifiable (check!).
And FYI the author of that article has the title "Dato". That is a Malaysian honorific bestowed by one of the Sultans. It is similar to "Sir".

There is a “review” of the cats 
Did TOMBO AUDIO Meow meow my Audio Heart? - Analogue Fellowship
TOMBO AUDIO‘s (Mr.)Vattana ‘Audio Playboy’ Prasertnasung was very excited about his latest creation, the Meow. He wanted me to try them, and give my honest opinion on them. Meow… “Meow is the very first of its kind. It is an Electro-Acoustic device that treats both acoustic and electric...

Those aluminum alloy pink-gold meows are $2350 for a set of 3. But that does include a ground cable.
"Meow GR Pink Gold package comes in a clowder of 3 cats, a pair of Baby Meows and one Grande Meow. The package includes reference ground cable."
Where does the grounding cable attach to the meow? Do you shove it up its butt?

This photo triggered me and I had spend the week in my safe zone calling my therapist every hour.Everybody knows that for the ultimate in high fidelity, you should use punch cards.

Of course, you'll need to locate the reader in a separate room, or it will really mess up your signal to noise ratio:
A CDs worth of data would require approximately 6,526,800 punch cards, so you'll need a model with an extended hopper.
I know that the last time I used a punch-card machine, I went through 6,526,800 punch cards to get the 1200 or so that I actually needed. Then, I dropped the box on the way to the computing center. I've been in therapy for these many decades since that horrible trauma.
