YES!!! When the string is taut.

Boy Scout string phone.

Two tin cans. Take the lid of one end , and punch a small hole in the opposite end.

Take your length of string , say 5m ( 15 ftt). String each end of the two tin cans and place a knot in the string so it will not fall/pull out.

Each of two people to take one stringed can . Move as far apart as the string will allow to be taut.

One person to place the can to his ear, and the other person to speak into the other tin can . 'Can you hear me!!!! '
