Arduino
int buzzer = 11;


void setup(){
 pinMode(buzzer,OUTPUT);
}



void alarm(){
 int i;
 int j = 0;
 while(j < 10){
   //output a frequency
   for(i=0;i<80;i++){
    digitalWrite(buzzer,HIGH);
    delay(1);//wait for 1ms
    digitalWrite(buzzer,LOW);
    delay(1);//wait for 1ms
   }
   
   //output another frequency
   for(i=0;i<100;i++){
      digitalWrite(buzzer,HIGH);
      delay(0.5);
      digitalWrite(buzzer,LOW);
      delay(0.5);
   }

  ++j;
 }
}



void loop(){
  int x = analogRead(A0);
  delay(10);
  
  if(abs(analogRead(A0) - x) > 2){
    alarm();
  }
}
