What is that thing on the middle of the ceiling where the rear overhead interior lights are? A vent? A speaker?

Motion sensor for the alarm and I believe there is a air filter in there as well

I know there is a motion sensor for the alarm, not sure about having an air filter as well. The cabin filters are located in the engine bay right below the wipers.
