(Loud)speaker is what produces the actual sound.

It's connected to/contains an amplifier that amplifies the sound (i.e. it makes the input signal stronger or converts it into a signal that allows the speaker to produce the sound). For example, guitar amplifiers convert the electronic signal from the guitar into a signal that is audible through the speaker.
