    The way I would do it is to implement a soft PWM. I think it's been covered on this site already. Let a timer run in the background every mS. Give it a value for on time of the buzzer (0-1000mS) Every time the timer ticks, you can verify if the buzzer needs to be on or off. Now, all you have to do is give it a value from your mainline code.

    why soft and not HPWM? Honestly I'm not fully getting this...

    Frankly simply because I'm so used to it by now, I've never had to do the HPWM. I do a lot of temperature controllers with cycle times in the range of 1 to 30 seconds. So, ..... It's more a matter of personal taste.
