@Tmaster I've created a Node containing a Piezo buzzer a while ago. I stripped all other things from my Sketch. It compiles, but I haven't tested it. Just try it and see if it works.
/**
* MySensors RoomSensor with piezo alarm for audio feedback, like weather alarm when there's a huricane alarm.
* The alarm is just a standard alarm in your Home Automation controller.
*
* Version 1.0
* Created 25-10-2015
* release date 25-10-2015
* Author by Theo
*
*
* Parts used:
* - Arduino ProMini 3.3V
* - 3V Piezo buzzer (is actually surprisingly loud for such a tiny PIEZO), You can greatly improve on the volume by wrapping a paper tube around the piezo

Edited:
I'm not good with Fritzling, I just don't find it very user friendly. That's probably why I don't spend some time on how to use it. But i just realized that you might want to know how to hookup the piezo buzzer to the arduino
Just connect the radio as described on the mysensors.org build site. I've used a 3.3V piezo, cause I mostly use ProMini's 3.3V for my MySensor nodes. But if you have another Arduino you'd probably need a 5V piezo buzzer.
Connecting the piezo is really easy. Hook the ground of the buzzer to one of the GND pins of your Arduino. Hook the positive pin of the buzzer to Pin 5 of your Arduino and you're good to go.
