Source: a two-bar electronic doorbell: a felt-covered plunger strikes a tuned metal bar ("ding"), then a second, lower bar ("dong") a descending major third (5:4) below. The strike is a 2–6 ms low-passed noise thump; a harder plunger is shorter and brighter.
Body: a free-free metal bar rings in inharmonic modes at 1 : 2.76 : 5.40 : 8.93. The fundamental decays slowest (the `ring` time), each upper mode roughly 2.5x faster, so the attack is bright and the tail pure. Each mode is a pair a fraction of a hertz apart (bar asymmetry), which gives a slow shimmer.
Envelope: ding rings about 1.1 s and is still decaying when the dong strikes 0.55 s later, so the two overlap; the dong is struck a little softer and rings the full `ring` time, ending near 2 s.
Variation: `rng` mistunes every mode by up to 0.2 % and varies the thump; presets change pitch, interval, gap, ring time and plunger hardness.
