Could this be the Radio Shack piezo buzzer? If so, the device is supposed to be supplied with 30V, not 12V. See
(www.radioshack.com/products/radioshack-90db-piezo-pulse).

Postitive supply wire to door bell button. To the 'other side' of the button, connect the buzzer red wire. Connect the buzzer black wire to the negative supply.

That is not a simple piezo element. It has a transistor driver circuit built in. It can run on anything from 3 Vdc to 28 Vdc.

i used one of those once as a reverse beeper on my Suburban. as easy as connecting to the reverse light, mounting it below the outside of the tail light, and gluing a piece of plastic wrap over the hole to keep it from filling with water. so, yes, it does work quite well from 12V.
