Active buzzer module
Introduction Active buzzer:
An Active Buzzer Alarm Module for the Arduino was an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric. it was a 3.3V-5V DC Electronic Part Active Buzzer Module. This active buzzer rings out as long as it's electrified.
Active Buzzer Arduino module produces a single-tone sound when the signal is high. To produce different tones use the Passive Buzzer module. The Active Buzzer module consists of a piezoelectric buzzer for a built-in oscillator. It generates a sound for approximately 2.5 kHz when the signal is high.

Circuit Operation:
An active buzzer has been built-in oscillating source, so it would make sounds when electrified. But a passive buzzer does not have such a source, so it will not tweet if DC signals are used; instead, you need to use square waves whose frequency was 2K and 5K to drive it.
The buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of the buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers, training, and confirmation of the user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
The working principle of the passive buzzer module is based on the piezoelectric effect. When an electrical signal is applied to a buzzer, it causes a piezoelectric crystal inside the buzzer to vibrate specific frequency. This is a vibration that produces sound waves that we can hear.

In normal English usage, a buzzer is a device that makes one fixed sound when it is activated, but a (loud) speaker reproduces the audio signal that it receives. Of course, a very small speaker won't give a good reproduction of the speech or music, but at least it attempts to do that.

How the Active buzzer Work:
Active buzzers were called active because they can produce sound directly when connected to the battery. Active buzzers could produce a single tone which is tuned to 2khz with most of the manufacturers. On the other hand, Passive buzzers need a triggered wave to produces sound.
An active buzzer sensor module has a built-in oscillation circuit, thus the sound frequency was fixed. It can generate the sound itself. So, you can simply turn it on and off with an Arduino pin, just like the way of turning on and off a Led which is connected to an Arduino board.
As the type of electronic buzzer with an integrated structure, buzzers, which are supplied by DC power, are widely used in computers, printers, photocopiers, alarms, electronic toys, automotive electronic devices, telephones, timers, of other electronics products for voice devices,

The Active Buzzer modules of consist of a piezoelectric buzzer with a built-in oscillator. It generates a sound of approximately ( 2.5) kHz when the signal is high
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an active buzzer module?
Active Buzzer Arduino module produces a single-tone sound when the signal is high. To produce different tones use the Passive Buzzer module. The Active Buzzer module consists of a piezoelectric buzzer for a built-in oscillator. It generates a sound of approximately 2.5- kHz when the signal is high.
Can you change the pitch of an active buzzer?
If you are using a passive buzzer you need to tell it what frequency of vibration, to create the tone you want. Active buzzers shall have additional components inside them so that they always use the same frequency. If you were using an active buzzer, you can only turn it on and off, and you can't change the tone.
Is piezo active or passive?
passive
Piezo pickups are passive. They work best when connected to a very high impedance input, not the kind found on most amplifiers for electric guitars. You could get an amplifier that accommodates both magnetic or piezoelectric pickups, such as Acoustic Image, and you can add an external preamp.
What is an active buzzer, Arduino?
An active buzzer has a built-in oscillating source, so it shall make sounds when electrified. But a passive buzzer does not have such a source, so it will not tweet if DC signals are used; instead, you need to use square waves whose frequency.
Can we use a buzzer as a speaker?
A buzzer is usually a self-oscillating device that moves a diaphragm repetitively and can only produce a single sound. It doesn't need any signal source, just a power supply, A speaker has a moving coil connected to a diaphragm and a magnet inside the coil.
