Comment on Do smoke detectors have little speakers inside them? If yes, would it be possible to hack them to play a little jingle?

Piezo buzzers have a resonant frequency they’re strongest at. Two-pin piezo disks need driving at the desired frequency. Three-pin provide a phase-shifted feedback to the driving transistor to keep oscillating at the resonant frequency. Some include that whole circuit inside their housing so they have just 2 pins but those are for DC power, only the volume can be somewhat adjusted by changing the input voltage.
