    A buzzer is an audio signaling device that can be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Mechanical buzzers operate purely through motion like a bicycle bell, while electromechanical buzzers use an electromagnet activated by alternating or direct current to vibrate a plate or diaphragm and produce sound. Piezoelectric buzzers contain an electronic oscillator and inductor to generate high voltage pulses that drive a piezoelectric transducer and create a high pitched beeping tone.

    BUZZER

    A buzzer is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical,


    electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers include alarm
    devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a keystroke.
    Mechanical:
    Bicycle bell is an example of a purely mechanical buzzer.
    Electromechanical
    An electromagnet is the main part of all types of electromechanical
    buzzers. These may be either AC operated or DC operated. In AC buzzers,
    the AC Mains voltage is applied to an electromagnet coil. The alternating
    voltage induced in the coil generates a varying magnetic field in
    accordance to the applied voltage, which in turn vibrates an iron plate to
    produce the required audible buzzing sound.

    In DC buzzers as used in vehicles, when a DC battery voltage is applied to


    its electromagnet, it pulls an iron diaphragm. Due to this the
    electromagnet is switched OFF, the diaphragm is released to its original
    position when again the DC supply is restored to repeat the cycle. This
    cycle repeats at a very high speed to generate the typical loud honk from
    it.

    Piezoelectric
    Electronic buzzers mostly used a piezo electric transducer. They operate
    at very low currents and produce high pitched, sharp beeping sounds. The

    heart of the circuit of piezo electric buzzers is an electronic oscillator. The


    alternating voltage produced by the oscillator is dumped into an inductor
    which effectively converts these signals into high voltage pulses to drive
    the piezo electric transducer and produce an audible sound.
