Default piezo buzzer

OK, this is not the answer, but a little tale about piezo buzzers.

I got a new "stud finder" (for locating wall studs in a building). It
was superb! Got the job done. Three or
four years later, I had occasion to use it again. Worked fine, except the
"buzzer" didn't sound. Tore it down
and found the little devil piezo element. Located a similar Radio Shack
element, and replaced the original.
Still didn't work. SWMBO said "hope you get tired of playing with that noisy
thing"....... HUH?
Well, piezo worked just fine. Ears had aged embarrassingly.
