Apparently the digital module can put out 64mA, but I think I'll use a small transistor to amplify it. 6V*20mA = 120mW. A 2N2222 should do fine, but I hope the buzzer will run on 5V.

My experience with these is they include very rudimentary, very noisy types of signal generators (see one person's teardown), so I suspect the range is in fact a range, and the frequency depends on the specific amount of voltage/current being supplied to the device, environmental factors, etc. 5 volts should work fine.
