− | The Urban Cricket consists of three simple oscillators, a piezo beeper with built in driver and a solar cell for powering the circuit. The piezo beeper has a built in driver which means that a voltage applied will cause the beeper to generate noise not only a short click. It generates a tone at about 2,000 to 3,000 Hertz witch sounds pretty annoying ("piiiiiiiiiiiii").<br> | + | The Urban Cricket consists of three simple oscillators, a piezo beeper with built in driver and a solar cell for powering the circuit.
