My in laws gifted my kid this pretty cool RC car but it makes this awful music that’s REALLY loud. Can I wire a resistor in series on one of the speaker legs to turn the volume down, say 50%?

I thought a voltage divider is 1 resistor in series and another in parallel? That way you have 2 resistors in series while the component in question sources it's voltage from in between the 2 resistors, dividing the voltage based on the proportion of the resistances of the 2 resistors. Kinda like dividing up a waterfall into 2 waterfalls of separate height that add up to the same total as the original waterfall, and then putting a turbine going from between the waterfalls to the bottom so you only get the lower waterfall's portion of the energy compared to the original waterfall's full height.
The component in question, in this case the speaker, can be treated as the second resistor.
