const int BUTTON_PIN = 7; // Arduino pin connected to button's pin
const int buzzer= 3; // Arduino pin connected to Buzzer's pin

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);                // initialize serial
  pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT_PULLUP); // set arduino pin to input pull-up mode
  pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);       // set arduino pin to output mode
}

void loop() {
  int buttonState = digitalRead(BUTTON_PIN); // read new state

  if (buttonState == HIGH) {
    Serial.println("The button is being pressed");
      tone(buzzer, 1000);

  }
  else
  if (buttonState == LOW) {
    Serial.println("The button is unpressed");
noTone(buzzer);
  }

    Serial.println("after the sound");

}

Serial.println("after the sound"); This code is never executed. How do I clear the timer on compare? What compare thanks/
