Re: Reduce volume of AC buzzer

I've got an old Gralab darkroom timer with a buzzer that is, to my
taste, way too loud. Some Gralabs had a volume adjustment knob, this one
doesn't. I'd like to add one.

Cover the buzzer with something. The more you cover it, the weaker
the sound will be.

If it was an electric bell, you could weaken the sound by damping
the actual bell, or putting something between the hammer and the bell.

I'm not actually that familier with many buzzers to know what might
be directly applied, assuming one can get at the works, but something
similar is bound to work.
