Light activated switch circuit

While I am waiting for my pot to come in, I thought maybe this might work.

I have many of the components that it requires already.

Could it be modified to set off a piezo buzzer in addition to the led?

Zero999:
Yes, but the buzzer must be a small one: piezoelectric is best. Simply connect it between pin 3 and 0V.

fixit7:
What do you mean by 0 volt?

Zero999:
Ground. In this case it's the negative of the battery, where pin 1 is connected, but this isn't always the case for all circuits. See the link below.

Thanks.

So I would connect pin 3 to the positive lead of buzzer and the negative lead of buzzer would go to ground or negative lead of my power source?
