I am not sure what exactly components are there on the circuit since it's quite small. It has a customized IC that i know nothing of (something like a black lump of clay if anyone knows what i mean). It also has an built in (i think)feedback oscillator circuit since it has a RC tank, and one high rating capacitor (i am not sure if this is a capacitor since it has 3 legs but it's twice as big as common capacitor). One of the 'capacitor' leg (middle) is connected to the ground. The other 2 legs (left and right) is connected directly to a piezo diaphgram and i believe these 2 legs carries high voltage since i get electrocuted when touching them.

If you get electrocuted, then this 3pin thingy probably is an autotransformer, to heavily increase the amplitude across piezo terminals and by this the sound pressure, like shown here:

Is it something like that?

Does logic "low" represent 0V?            01/01/70 00:00      
   The diagram does not work            01/01/70 00:00      
      What current are we talking about?            01/01/70 00:00      
      More details needed!            01/01/70 00:00

      Yes, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         bear in mind            01/01/70 00:00      
            Of course, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         forgot to mention: cookbook was for a piezo buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
            In such a case...            01/01/70 00:00

         Try            01/01/70 00:00      
            Circuit details and summary of my problem            01/01/70 00:00      
               either a mistype or connecting the buzzer the wron            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Update            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Please do as I have asked: connect the buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
               What you tell is confusing...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  As mentioned by Kai Klaas            01/01/70 00:00

   Type of buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
      who knows how much power, how big spikes            01/01/70 00:00      
      Again...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yeah            01/01/70 00:00      
            Try this!            01/01/70 00:00      
               just guessing            01/01/70 00:00      
                  guessing the current is below 5A...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     then what if it is 1uA            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                     We just do not want to guess!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00
