Beeper & Buzzer Circuits   Page 3
Beepers & Buzzers:  #-D      E-R      S-Z

Last Updated on: Thursday, October 29, 2009 10:45 AM

Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Service Beeper:  This device functions like a lobby desk service request bell.  A short beep is sounded whenever the large pushbutton on top of the device is pressed.  Once pressed, the device will not make another beep until at least 2 minutes of time has elapsed.  This prevents impatient customers from ringing the bell over and over.
  • NEW  Star Trek Doorbell:  In the Star Trek “Next Generation” TV series, the doorbell outside the private quarters of a crew member makes a particular “beep-boop” sound.  The 3v battery powered circuit below tries to simulate this sound. The circuit uses one 74HCT74 dual D flip/flop IC, wired as two one-shot circuits.  Both are designed to produce a pulse about one half second long.  The first pulse turns on a 555 timer to form the beep sound.  The second flip/flop one shot ....
  • VERY LOUD BEEPER CIRCUIT
    This circuit generates a continuous tone instead of a pulsing one. The circuit delivers about 110db (12 inches away) from a 9v battery using a single inexpensive C-MOS IC. An off-the-shelf piezoelectric beeping device is driven at resonance to insure maximum efficiency.

Simple Siren - This project is built on the third section of the PC board, identified by "SIREN" and "Project 5." You will notice the similarity between this circuit and the LED FLASHER circuit from project 2. The only differences are the LED has been removed and the 22R resistor has been replaced by a mini speaker....(design added 04/09)

Timed Beeper - Beeps 7.5 seconds after a preset Time Adjustable Time settings:15 sec.30 sec.1 min.2 min. & others (added 9/04)
Two Tone Generator - This two-tone generator includes 3 ICs NE555 Astable Multivibrators. You can vary the duration of each tone by changing the 10k resistor or 100MF capacitor at IC1 or changing resistors and capacitors at IC1/2 for higher or lower tone. Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 6/03)
Under-/Over-Voltage Beep for Manual Stabiliser - (electronic Circuit / Schematic added 10/04)
Universal Ding-Dong - One frequently finds gongs or chimes for sale in antique shops or Eastern markets. But supposing one would want to wire these to a pushbutton at the front door to create a ding-dong doorbell? How would this be done? Or consider, for a moment, more creative possibilities. How would one e.g. cause wine-glasses or African drums to resonate when a doorbell is pressed? The circuit shown in Fig. 1 provides a mechanical means of striking two gongs or chimes in sequence -- one when the doorbell is pressed, the other when it is released. This it does by briefly activating two solenoids in...
Very Loud Piezoelectric Beeper Circuit - This circuit is similar to circuit number 7, but generates a continuous tone instead of a pulsing one. The circuit delivers about 110db (12 inches away) from a 9v battery using a single inexpensive C-MOS IC. An off-the-shelf piezoelectric beeping device is driven at resonance to insure maximum efficiency. ….(designed by David A. Johnson)

Wireless Doorbell - The transmitter circuit is made up of two building blocks, the 303MHz RF oscillator and the 32kHz crystal controlled oscillator. The 303MHz oscillator consists of a self-oscillating circuit made up of the coil….(diagram added 05/07)
You've Got Mail - 08/19/99 EDN-Design Ideas: Many e-mail programs provide a "beep" or a pop-up message box signaling the user that a new e-mail message has arrived. If you are too far from the computer to hear the audible signal or if the monitor is turned off, then.....(design idea added 4/02)
