It is Chinglish and is meaningless.<br /> If you use an electro-mechanical buzzer or a name-brand piezo beeper that has an internal oscillator then it will not get any voltage from a 3V battery in series with an LED because the battery voltage is too low.<br /> <br /> A red or orange LED can be used as a warning. Therefore some are made to be flashing. A blue LED is never used as a warning therefor none are made to be flashing.<br /> <br /> Depending on the type of buzzer or beeper, the LED will need a series or parallel current-limiting resistor.</div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> <aside class="message-signature"> <div class="bbWrapper">Uncle $crooge</div> </aside> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-microdata" itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemtype="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter" itemscope> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="https://schema.org/LikeAction" /> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="For The Popcorn" data-content="post-1444070" id="js-post-1444070" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Comment" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/posts/1444070/"> <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/will-this-circuit-work.165495/" /> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-1444070"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section class="message-user" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/"> <meta itemprop="url" content="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/" /> <div class="message-avatar "> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/" class="avatar avatar--m avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="315620" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #0f0f3d; color: #3333cc"> <span class="avatar-u315620-m" role="img" aria-label="For The Popcorn">F</span> </a> </div> </div> <div class="message-userDetails"> <h4 class="message-name"><a href="/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="315620" data-xf-init="member-tooltip"><span itemprop="name">For The Popcorn</span></a></h4> <h5 class="userTitle message-userTitle" dir="auto" itemprop="jobTitle">Well-Known Member</h5> <div class="userBanner userBanner userBanner--gray message-userBanner" itemprop="jobTitle"><span class="userBanner-before"></span><strong>Most Helpful Member</strong><span class="userBanner-after"></span></div> </div> <span class="message-userArrow"></span> </section> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--main"> <div class="message-main js-quickEditTarget"> <header class="message-attribution message-attribution--split"> <ul class="message-attribution-main listInline "> <li class="u-concealed"> <a href="/threads/will-this-circuit-work.165495/post-1444070" rel="nofollow" itemprop="url"> <time class="u-dt" dir="auto" datetime="2023-11-10T10:05:41-0800" data-time="1699639541" data-date-string="Nov 10, 2023" data-time-string="10:05 AM" title="Nov 10, 2023 at 10:05 AM" itemprop="datePublished">Nov 10, 2023</time> </a> </li> </ul> <ul class="message-attribution-opposite message-attribution-opposite--list "> <li> <a href="/threads/will-this-circuit-work.165495/post-1444070" class="message-attribution-gadget" data-xf-init="share-tooltip" data-href="/posts/1444070/share" aria-label="Share" rel="nofollow"> <i class="fa--xf fal fa-share-alt" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> </li> <li> <a href="/threads/will-this-circuit-work.165495/post-1444070" rel="nofollow"> #10 </a> </li> </ul> </header> <div class="message-content js-messageContent"> <div class="message-userContent lbContainer js-lbContainer " data-lb-id="post-1444070" data-lb-caption-desc="For The Popcorn · Nov 10, 2023 at 10:05 AM"> <article class="message-body js-selectToQuote"> <div itemprop="text"> <div class="bbWrapper"><blockquote data-attributes="member: 16360" data-quote="audioguru" data-source="post: 1444065" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/goto/post?id=1444065" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-1444065">audioguru said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> A blue LED is never used as a warning therefor none are made to be flashing </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> Do you just make this stuff up?

I used a red auto flasher LED it flashes 60 times in 1 minute. I used a 470 ohm resistor in series with the LED. I also have a tiny speaker. 3 volts makes the speaker click click click each time I apply 3v. The larger buzzer in the center of photo makes clicking sounds. Buzzer on the right no sound.<br /> <br /> Next I soldered the resistor & LED to each, speaker & both buzzers. Speaker the red LED flashes but speaker makes no sound on 3v.<br /> <br /> Both buzzers make no sound and LED does not flash. <br /> <br /> My idea to use the LED as an automatic switch to make the buzzers beep, does not work. If I buy a new piezo buzzer LED won't make it beep either.<br /> <br /> I tried 3v 6v 12vdc on both buzzers with no resistor & no LED, no sound.<br /> <br /> 3v on LED flashes connected to the tiny speaker but no sound from the speaker.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" title="101_8106.JPG" data-src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8106-jpg.143295/" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1"> <img src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8106-jpg.143295/" data-url="" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="101_8106.JPG" title="101_8106.JPG" width="2048" height="1536" loading="lazy" /> </div><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" title="101_8110.JPG" data-src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8110-jpg.143296/" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1"> <img src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8110-jpg.143296/" data-url="" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="101_8110.JPG" title="101_8110.JPG" width="2048" height="1536" loading="lazy" /> </div><div class="bbImageWrapper js-lbImage" title="101_8111.JPG" data-src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8111-jpg.143297/" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1"> <img src="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/101_8111-jpg.143297/" data-url="" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="101_8111.JPG" title="101_8111.JPG" width="2048" height="1536" loading="lazy" /> </div></div> </div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-microdata" itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemtype="https://schema.org/InteractionCounter" itemscope> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="https://schema.org/LikeAction" /> </div> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> </footer> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post js-inlineModContainer " data-author="For The Popcorn" data-content="post-1444094" id="js-post-1444094" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Comment" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/posts/1444094/"> <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/will-this-circuit-work.165495/" /> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-1444094"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section class="message-user" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemid="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/"> <meta itemprop="url" content="https://www.electro-tech-online.com/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/" /> <div class="message-avatar "> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/members/for-the-popcorn.315620/" class="avatar avatar--m avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="315620" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #0f0f3d;
