About Arduino and Audio
There are several ways to make Arduino generate sound. Depending on your application, you can choose one of the following methods to make sound using Arduino:
- If you need a small beep as sound indicator like keypad beep, you can use 5V buzzer, you can learn more in Arduino - Piezo Buzzer tutorial
- If you need a loud sound for alarming, you can use 12V buzzer, you can learn more in Arduino - 12V Buzzer tutorial
- If you need a warning sound, you can use Siren or horn, you can learn more in Arduino - Siren Horn tutorial
- If you need to play a recorded audio file, you can use MP3 player and speaker, you can learn more in Arduino - MP3 Player tutorial
