Electronic horn circuit diagram. When the power line is switched on, a basic tone is produced by transistor T2 and transformer X1, which is frequency-modulated by a wandering voltage generator affected by a low-frequency square wave generator. This is a simple, low-cost circuit for an electronic horn designed around the quadruple op-amp IC LM3900 (IC1). The LM3900 contains four independent operational amplifiers (A1 through A4) with a large output voltage swing, capable of operating at up to 32V DC. The first op-amp (A1) is configured to function as a basic home telephone ring tone generator, requiring only a DC supply of 4.5V to 12V. This circuit can be utilized in standard intercom systems or phone-type intercoms. The sound produced resembles that of an electronic siren, imitating the rise and fall of an American police siren. Upon initial activation, the 10µF capacitors discharge, causing both transistors to be off. When the push button switch is pressed, the 10µF capacitor charges through a 22k resistor, and this voltage is applied to generate sound. The HT2884 IC generates various sound effects, including two laser gun sounds, one dual-tone horn sound, two bomb sounds, two machine gun sounds, and one rifle shot sound. The circuit operates on a 3V battery, although the IC can function with a range of voltages. The schematic diagram for the car horn circuit is provided for potential modification. Components include: R1 = 68K, R2 = 2K2, R3 = 56K, R4 = 3K3, R5, R6 = 4K7, R7 = 10K Pot/trimpot, C1, C2 = 22nF, C3, C5 = 100nF, C4 = 1nF, C6 = 220µF/25V, IC1, IC2. Additionally, a low-cost ticking bomb sound generator circuit is described, producing a sound similar to a loud ticking clock, with frequency modulation controlled by a 220k potentiometer. The circuit activates by charging a 2.2µF capacitor until 0.65V is reached at the base of an NPN transistor.

The electronic horn circuit operates by utilizing a combination of transistors and operational amplifiers to generate sound. The LM3900 IC serves as a versatile component, allowing for the creation of various audio signals through its four operational amplifiers. The first op-amp is specifically designed to emulate the sound of a telephone ringing, making it suitable for intercom applications. The frequency modulation of the generated tone is achieved through a wandering voltage generator, which introduces variations in the output tone, providing a more dynamic sound.

In the electronic siren configuration, the circuit mimics the characteristic sound of a police siren by modulating the output frequency. The initial state of the circuit, where the capacitors are discharged, ensures that the transistors remain off until the push button is activated. This design choice allows for a controlled start-up of the sound generation process, preventing unintended activation.

The HT2884 IC enhances the circuit's capabilities by enabling the production of multiple sound effects. The diversity of sounds, ranging from laser guns to bomb detonations, broadens the application spectrum of this circuit, making it suitable for various sound effect requirements.

For the car horn modification, the provided schematic allows for straightforward integration into existing automotive systems. The component values specified ensure that the circuit operates efficiently within the intended voltage range, providing a reliable sound output.

Lastly, the ticking bomb sound generator circuit exemplifies another application of simple electronic components to create sound effects. By adjusting the potentiometer, users can modify the frequency of the ticking sound, adding a layer of customization to the circuit's operation. This approach demonstrates the versatility of basic electronic components in producing a wide range of audio effects for different applications.Electronic horn circuit diagram.
