Generating ping sounds

[bodgetts]

Thanks for the suggestion, I already tested the Roman Black method and found that the sound was just too hissy. It is pretty cool though.

I was hoping that there would be some kind of simple sound circuit I could make from other components. I have seen sine wave generators with 555 timer chips that make wailing sounds. Maybe there is something like this that they use to make 'ding' kind of sounds?

Have a look at this one

Thanks Ioannis, the SOMO-14D looks awesome. I have ordered one and will let you know how it goes.

Ok, I managed to get the SOMO-14D working correctly. It does exactly what it says it should, and plays sounds quite loudly through the speaker connection. It does take a while getting the right SD card for it, but once you have that it's great.

Thanks again for the help!

Great you got it working and your feedback.
