Learn How to Make a DIY Electronic Siren Generator circuit using the IC UM3561a Siren Tone Generator.
The circuit only requires a few components and can be put together in a couple of hours.

Step 2: UM3561 Explained
The UM3561 is a low-cost, low power CMOS LSI designed for use in toy applications. Since the integrated circuit includes oscillating and selector circuits, a compact sound module can be constructed with only a few additional components. The UM3561 contains a programmed mask ROM to electronically reproduce alarm sounds.
Step 3: Circuit Schematic
Only one of the Siren tunes can be played at a time. This is determined on the basis of the position of the SP3T Slide switch. The switch has three positions which will connect the common terminal with VCC, GND or NC in order to fulfill the Truth Table.
The 220KΩ resistor is used to set the oscillating frequency of the IC.
A dynamic speaker is driven with an external NPN transistor. An SPDT switch is used to turn the circuit ON & OFF.

I fabricated the board using the Iron Method.
I drilled four mounting holes in each corner with a diameter of 3mm.
The PCB size is 3.3cm X 3.3cm .
Step 5: Circuit Assembly
Place and solder all the components onto the PCB. Double check components with polarities. Lastly, solder the Power adapter and speaker to the PCB.
