Default Small vent beside ignition/shifter?

Hi there, just wondering what the purpose is of the small vent that's to the right of the steering column on the dash, to the left beside the trailer brake controller as pictured, is this a speaker or a vent for something. Just curious

Not sure but would guess its a port for a buzzer or speaker or something.

Magnus,
This is not my truck, it's just an image from Google as I was too lazy to take one of mine. Nice gauge though, Sorry!

Roush sells a boost gauge and holder on their website.

Thanks. I guess I should say I was curious about what brand his gauge was though. It's not the roush or any other brand I've seen before.
