    Look at the BlinkWithoutDelay example and learn how to use the millis() function (There are also many tutorials on the web for it). Then start the buzzer, when the lazer barrier triggers, set a timestamp there. When the difference between the current millis() value and the timestamp is over your 15-30s, turn of the buzzer – chrisl Jun 18 at 9:06
  • @chrisl describes a delayed off relative to the start event. You can as well use the stop event (remove hand from "lazer") to start the delayed off time. Try both and understand the difference, when you keep the hand there longer. – DataFiddler Jun 18 at 10:33
  • [turn on buzzer]; delay(15000); [turn off buzzer]; – Gerben Jun 18 at 16:05

If you are using a digital buzzer, you can do:

digitalWrite(buzzerPin,HIGH); 
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(buzzerPin,LOW);
