Jip, called membranes, like so:

Often the math says X should be loud but in reality it's not.
And a random mounting idea turns out to be amazing.

Seconded. We did all of the math, in the end we autotuned them by feeding a dB meter back to the MCU while it stepped frequencies. Driver was a JRC part IIRC.
Berni:
Yes as PSi said. How you drive a piezzo makes a massive difference in output power. They love big sharp AC voltage swings.

A quick hack for driving one can be a RS232 driver chip. They generate the voltage and provide a fairly low impedance AC drive to it all in one chip.
