- This article is about the small loudspeaker that increases thewhistle's range. For the large megaphone that allows the whistle topluck Pikmin, seeProfessional Noisemaker.
TheAmplified Amplifier (真空波動スピーカー?, lit.: "Vacuum Wave Speaker") is atreasure found both inPikmin 2 andPikmin 4. It is actually aloudspeaker. InPikmin 2, it is found on theShower Room's seventh and final sublevel, carried by aRanging Bloyster. Collecting it prompts theHocotate ship to create a piece ofgear, theMega Tweeter, which considerably increases the range of the leaders'whistles. InPikmin 4, a redesigned Amplified Amplifier is found in theBelow-Grade Discotheque's fifth and final sublevel, carried by theGroovy Long Legs. UnlikePikmin 2, collecting it does not unlock any upgrade.

The Amplified Amplifier is held by theboss of the cave, theRanging Bloyster, so abattle is required to retrieve it. Likesome other treasures, if the player defeats the Ranging Bloyster, but does not have enough Pikmin to carry the Amplified Amplifier, which requires the strength of twenty Pikmin, it will change weight to match the player's army. Note that due to how sublevel generation works, it is possible for the Ranging Bloyster to not spawn, making it impossible to obtain this treasure, as detailedhere andhere.

Notes
Ship's dialogs
“Processing... How odd. The gooey creature dissolved, leaving this curious item behind.
It appears to be coated in slime. Are you sure you want to collect this? ...Absolutely sure?
You'll toss just about anything in my hold. It would be nice if you cleaned occasionally.
This shape is well suited for the emission and amplification of sound waves. A moment, please.
I shall use this as the final part in my new sound equipment. TheMega Tweeter is done!
Captain Olimar, this device has increased the acoustic range of your whistle!”Olimar's journal
