Default Can't find an old circuit I saw once.

I hate coming to a forum and being that guy that says "I need a schematic, Thanks." but I saw a schematic for a cricket chirp generator a while back and now I can't find one anywhere. I don't remember if it uses an Op Amp, or a 555. I want to stick it under the couch, and set it to go off every five minutes then watch people try to find it. So, with that, "I need a schematic, thanks."

Hi Jarod!

If you just want the finished product, there is the Mind Molester, which looks like the sort of thing you're after.

If you want to build it yourself, I know I just recently saw a thread about this on this board, but for the life of me I can't find it right now. I believe it didn't use a cricket chirp but something of a higher frequency.

That's what I'm looking for. I would like to build a simpler one. I thought I saw one that used a 555, so it wouldn't be random, but it'd still make me laugh. Plus it would be really small that way to. Thanks for the help.

Thanks Harvey, and Torben. That was the exact picture I saw. I had it in my favorites, but this "hobby" has turn the favorites, and files into a nightmare lol. So I think I deleted it when I was trimming stuff up. I can't wait to hide this in someones house. :-)

Now I want to build one and see if I can't drive my wife squirrelly.

I know, I know!

Just install a weak old 9V battery in a smoke alarm. Hide the smoke alarm unter the couch. They chirp every few minutes to warn of low battery, and the chirp is so fast you can't tell where it is coming from (unless you already know where it is.)

Bonus: You'll know if there is a fire unter the couch/devan/sofa/chesterfield/futon/davenport/chaise-lounge.

Well it wasn't going to be until you said that. After thinking about it, I think that's a good idea. Should be about a buck each, even with a battery.
