Arduino - Keypad - Beep
When a key on the keypad is pressed, the piezo buzzer beeps. Without delay() function for beeping, there is no keypad's press missed.

About Keypad and Piezo Buzzer
If you do not know about keypad and Piezo Buzzer (pinout, how it works, how to program ...), learn about them in the following tutorials:
The ezBuzzer library is designed for buzzer to beep or play memody without blocking other code.

void loop() {
buzzer.loop(); // MUST call the buzzer.loop() function in loop()
char key = keypad.getKey();
if (key) {

buzzer.beep(100); // generates a 100ms beep
}
