Seems highly tangental to the prior conversation, but possibly yes.

Essentially, it's a mechanical vibration, even at a very high rate.  

If you gently pluck a guitar string while tuning it, it doesn't play the
same note as if you very harshly pluck the string.  Or, to put in
another way, you pluck a string and let it ring, the note it plays goes
slightly flat before it peters out to not vibrating (the frequency
decreases).

So, I wouldn't be surprised if you kick a crystal with less voltage to
make it swing than you usually do, it mightn't do it so fast.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
