The simplest sound making machine
« on: June 29, 2010, 12:21:04 AM »
How to make one? ;)

What I mean is I want something very simple to make any kind of a buzz when I press a button. So I know I need a button, battery and a speaker, but what to put between them?

A mechanical buzzer?  That's about as simple as it goes.  If you want a loud one, get hold of some old car horns from a scrapyard - they are just mechanical buzzers with a diaphram attached to the moving part.

If you want an electronic beeper circuit, give me an hour or so and I'll draw one for you...

If at first you don't succeed, stick it through a fuzzbox.

The buzzer is a nice idea, I'll try that, thanks :)

I would love to see that circuit too if it's not too much of a hassle.

If you're wondering what it's for: i like making silly props/toys like sci-fi rayguns and such, recently I started adding some LED's that light up whenyou press the trigger to them, and now I want them to make some noise ;)
