How it's made
- Source
- a small piezo sounder driven by a gated square-ish wave. The fundamental sits at 0.8-2.4 kHz; the drive adds weak 2nd and 3rd harmonics (0.3 and 0.12 of the fundamental) that `tone` shifts around.
- Body
- the sounder sits in a bumper housing that acts as a broad resonance one octave above the fundamental (peak, Q about 1.5, +3 dB), and a gentle low-pass keeps the top end from turning shrill.
- Envelope
- every beep is a gated tone with 6 ms raised ramps, so the gate never clicks. The gap between beeps shrinks from `far` to `near` seconds following the obstacle distance, with a curved approach; the duty cycle keeps each beep a fixed fraction of its period so the pulses stay short at high rates.
- Rhythm
- beep times are computed once from the loop length, so the 4 s render holds one full approach and the loop restarts at the far, slow spacing.
- Variation
- `rng` detunes each beep by about 0.3 % and its level by a few percent, as a cheap driver does.
