This orange wire controls the buzzer for my intercom unit, reckon if I put a resistor between it and the screw it would lower the volume of the buzzer? (lemmy.ml)

Rather than a resistor, if you wire in a potentiometer you should be able to control the volume at the turn of a wheel or screw.

That sounds cool but I only have resistors ATM, and regardless to change the volume I would need to hide it under the casing since this is a "stealth" modification that my apartment doesn't know about

are you in the apartment right now?? Could they be watching you on the internet?
