Hi.

How would one make a circuit that has a buzzer that, upon a trigger
being tripped, produces a buzz lasting, say 1 second, then stops until
reset? Even with the trigger continuously depressed, the buzz can't
last more than 1 second.

Try a monostable

555 in astable mode. Or use a microcontroller and generate a pleasing
tone as well as timing it.

How about:

Consider CD4060. Look up its datasheet to see how to make an
RC oscillator out of the first section.

Imagine that you make it produce 1024Hz. You want 1024 cycles
and then it stops. If you make it make 512Hz, you want 512
cycles.

Run a diode from the desired Q output to the input of the
oscillator so that when that output goes high is jams the
oscillator high and stops it.

The trigger can be turned into a narrow pulse with a simple RC.
The trigger resets the 4060. The 4060 then counts up to the
desired count and stops.

This has the advantage over LM555 circuits in that it can be
very low power.

Another way, using relays:

Gnd ----------------------+-------+

Trigger is a momentary normally closed switch and reset
is a momentary normally open switch. Use an NPN darlington
for the transistor, a 100K pot and a 10uF electrolytic.
Adjust the pot to set the duration you want. A larger
cap will allow a longer time for the buzzer to sound.
