5 circuits of 555 Alarm sound and tone generator

If you want a tone generator circuit. We have a lot of circuits for you.  Before you may use transistors.  But now 555 tone generator circuit may be good ways for you.

We have 5 circuits of simple 555 Alarm sound.  IC-555 timer is popular forever. It is easy for a beginner as a buzzer sound. Or 555 tone generator 8-ohm speaker.

1. Simple 555 alarm sound generator

IC-555 is a pulse generator, with high frequency. Then, the PNP transistor boosts the current up to output an 8-ohm speaker.

How it works

Simple 555 Alarm sound circuit


The 555 alarm sound circuit diagram

In the circuit, First, get a power supply, 9V battery to the circuit. IC1 works in A Stable Multi Vibrator mode. It makes high frequency out of pin 3.

The output frequency is determined by the value of R1, R2, C2.

Especially C2, If it is high value, the output is low frequency, bass sound.
The sound of pin 3 flows to R3 to limit the current for Q1. The Q1 is the amplifier to drive the speakers, 8 to 32 ohms.

Parts you will needs

IC1: IC-555 timer
Q1: BD136,BD140 PNP transistor
C1: 100uF  16V   Electrolytic capacitors
C2: 0.01uF  50V  Ceramic Capacitors
C3: 0.1uF  50V Ceramic Capacitors
R1: 100K  0.5W resistors
R2: 4.7K  0.5W  resistors
R3: 100 ohms 0.5W  resistors
R4: 33 ohms 0.5W  resistors
Speaker 8-32 ohms

We have many ways to build the buzzer sound circuit. We used to build them with the transistors.

But now we like to use the IC-555 timer more than. Because of it’s easy,  a small amount, and cheap. We have 3 circuit examples below.

Note: All circuits require 9V power supply circuit

2. Danger beep circuit

This is a dangerous beep circuit. It uses 555 integrated number circuits built to be a stable multivibrator that be valuable duty cycle 5% driver loudspeaker 8ohm 0.25W sizes. By changing the transistor, BD136 will get danger beep use make person penetrate a hole is frightened or call for the interest from a neighbor for asks for help.

The danger beep circuit using IC-555

Because of use part a little , then have small-sized and use current just 50mA from a place turns on the power supply 9Volt only.

3. Tone Burst Generator

Friends take an interest try build Tone Burst Generator be simple is. Try this circuit like sure because useIC 7555 , highly popular again. Assure that not sure difficult press the the secretariat of the senate S1 a loudspeaker will utter to come out immediately.

Tone Burst Generator using LM555

When liberate S1 already the sound may loud again next many second. The C2 and R4 control time drag. The C1 control the frequency.( Use the integrated circuit IC 7555 use power source a little more IC 555 very )The detail is other see in the circuit request have fun Tone Burst Generator please sir.

4. Annoying high pitch noise generator

This is a simple high pitch noise generator circuit. It has a timer oscillator with a frequency variable from 15khz – 30khz.

Annoying high pitch noise generator using IC-555

The circuit can be mounted in a plastic box like I have done. The good thing about high frequency sounds is that it is very hard to find where they are coming from. Also, the noise is very annoying and irritating. The crystal speaker is the creamy coloured thing at the bottom of the photo on the left.

5. Two tone Generator circuit using 555

This is a simple noise generator circuit. An IC Timer IC 555 is a number of major equipment. Small circuit. Suitable for various test circuits.

Operation of the circuit is when the power supply to the circuit. It will give birth to high frequency by using a circuit IC1 to a multi-state Devices Bill Brett Foster.

Noise Generator 2 Frequency using IC 555

The frequency with which R1, C1, and C2. The frequency will be out in three legs. And will be expanded with the IC2 output pinout of 5 in order to drive the speakers. The high-frequency sound. But when the switch S1, capacitor.

C1, which continue to cycle in a manner parallel to the C2 value higher density. IC1 will give birth to low-frequency out of pin 3 to IC2 then drive the speakers. This circuit can cause the audio source has two frequency.
