How it's made

Source
an electronic evacuation sounder driving a compression horn; seven phase-locked harmonics model its buzzy diaphragm, with odd partials strongest and a quiet band-limited air/grille noise.
Body
broad horn bands at 1.45 and 2.8 kHz (Q 0.85 and 1.1) colour the moving harmonic ladder. A 160 Hz high-pass removes ineffective diaphragm excursion; a 5.2-7.8 kHz low-pass limits fizz.
Envelope
2-8 rising whoops per 4 s. Each cycle attacks in 3.5% of its period, rises for 74%, releases over 12%, then rests for 14%; pitch resets only while the diaphragm is silent.
Modulation
a slightly convex 360-900 Hz default sweep and 27 Hz, 0.12% pitch flutter model the drive. The harmonic brightness opens with pitch; no room reverberation is baked into the dry horn.
Variation
seeded tuning varies by +/-0.2%; cycle count, base pitch, sweep ratio and edge control distinguish standard, low slow, urgent and compact high-frequency sounders. All have whole cycles.
