Active Buzzer 3V/5V — 5-Piece Pack

The Active Buzzer 3V/5V (5PCS) is the simplest way to add sound to your project. An active buzzer contains a built-in oscillator, so you just apply DC voltage and it beeps — no frequency generation needed from your microcontroller. Ideal for alarms, button feedback, timer alerts, and notification sounds.

Active vs passive buzzers

Type How it works Pros Cons
Active (this) Built-in oscillator — apply voltage and it beeps Simple, one fixed tone Can't change frequency
Passive / Piezo Needs external frequency signal (PWM) Play melodies, variable tones Requires PWM from MCU
