You can find a million different circuits online with a simple google search. The problem is you haven’t given any useful info about what it is you need. You want to generate a sound outside? Cool, I can point you to a circuit that you can’t hear from five feet away, but it meets your criteria because it was used “outside” and produced a garbled mess that still counts as a “sound”.

If you want help, you need to provide an idea of how much power needs to be generated, how many speakers you are driving, how clear you need the sound to be (and this distinction will be quite different depending on if you are generating a tone, music, voice, etc), how FAR away you want to hear the sound, and it wouldn’t hurt to show what you’ve already tried and how that varied from what you were expecting. If you plan to leave this outside long-term, then you should describe what your plan is for weather-proofing as that will have an effect out the output also. And since I don’t know jack about analog circuits, there’s probably more information required to build what you need.

Sorry, even if you want nothing more than a siren sound there’s nothing easy about your question.

qyron OP ,

I edited the post and added information.

The Adafruit solution below looks like a good suggestion if you need something pre-built. However if you’re interested in the DIY approch, you could also take a look at something like www.ebay.com/itm/404254884824

Pair this with an arduino nano and you’ll have a fairly compact programmable device (I assume for your purposes, you only need mono output). You could also add a lithium-ion battery, solar panel, and charge controller to make something completely self-contained, but that would take a bit more work to figure out how much power is required to play each recording, and how many times per day you want to be able to play them so you can have enough battery power and a large enough solar panel to keep them charged.

Also remember to put your speakers in a box as that will make a huge difference in the volume of the sound being played.
