+    Just a simple implementation to start. Use RTTTL strings directly for different events.
+
+    Example usage:
+        genericBuzzer buzzer;
+        buzzer.begin();
+        buzzer.play("MsgRcv3:d=4,o=6,b=200:32e,32g,32b,16c7"); // Play message sound
+        buzzer.play("Discovery:d=4,o=5,b=180:8e6,8d6,8c6"); // Play discovery sound
+
+    You can configure the melodies by changing the RTTTL strings in your code.
 
     TODO
-    - make message ring tone configurable
+    - make message ring tone configurable at runtime
