Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2388995A] A sounder for an alarm having a piezo-electric element (1) and an electronic drive circuit (100) to drive the piezo-electric element to produce an audible sound perceived as a first tone at a first tonal frequency, the piezo-electric element having a dominant resonant frequency; the dominant resonant frequency is above the first tonal frequency and the electronic drive circuit is arranged to drive the piezoelectric element to produce the first tone sound; the piezo-electric element is also excited at the dominant resonant frequency while the first tone sound is produced.
