False, the spinning coil of wire that moves the cone in a speaker does not produces sound.

Explanation:

The wire coil is an electromagnet that is fixed to speaker cone. A normal magnet attached to the back of the speaker cone.When audio is sent in the form of short bursts of electric current to the speaker cone through the wire.

A magnetic field is induced when electric current allowed to pass through the coil. This magnetic field is repelled by the other magnet. This repulsion cause the cone to move forward. In the absence of electric current in the coil, the cone moves backward.

Thus sound waves are produced due to the resulting rarefaction and compression. So it is not the spinning coil of wire but he permanent magnet that produces the sound.
