How it's made
- Source
- a pedestrian signal loudspeaker driven by short electrical pulses, not a sustained beep. A 0.7 ms onset and 3 ms band-limited noise transient represent the diaphragm's initial acceleration.
- Body
- a midrange 700-1400 Hz driver pulse has a weaker second and short third harmonic; a small enclosure adds a damped 430 Hz response and a broad cone resonance near 1.8 times the driver pitch.
- Envelope
- the driver settles downward by 4 percent over 12 ms; upper harmonics decay in 10-18 ms, the fundamental in 22-55 ms. Each voice is smoothly silenced by 110 ms, with no background bed.
- Rhythm
- identical electronic timing at 1-8 ticks per second; the 2 s loop holds whole periods.
- Variation
- per-tick gain varies by less than 2 percent and enclosure excitation uses seeded noise. Presets separate slow locator pulses, regular walking ticks, fast crisp ticks and a rounded low driver.
- Space
- dry mono point source, high-passed below 180 Hz; scene distance and reflections are left to users.
