Source: a tiny electronic status tone, a pure sine "blip" as heard from a small phone speaker.
Body: a pure fundamental (1–3 kHz) with a very faint second harmonic (about −30 dB) that dies in a third of the fundamental's time, so the first milliseconds have a hint of definition and the tail is a clean sine.
Envelope: a 3 ms ramp (no click), then an exponential fall of 60 dB in about 0.07 s, trimmed with a 20 ms fade once it is 30 dB down; the whole render is about 0.15 s. The pitch settles down by 2–4 % over the first 25 ms, like a speaker cone coming to rest.
Variation: pitch, decay and brightness set the character; `rng` shifts the pitch by a fraction of a percent.

Parameters
Parameter	Range	Default	Unit	Controls
pitch	800 – 3200	1760	Hz	Pitch
decay	0.03 – 0.2	0.07	s	Decay
brightness	0 – 1	0.25	—	Brightness
settle	0 – 1	0.5	—	How far the pitch falls in the first 25 ms
seed	int	1	—	Variation, reproducible

The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
