How it's made
Source
a classic electronic start-light beeper. Each beep is a band-limited square plus a saw an octave up (the buzzy "electronic" edge), a slightly detuned second square for a gentle chorus, and a pure sine fundamental that keeps the tone solid and centred.
Body
a low-pass filter follows the beep, opening for the first few milliseconds and settling to a steady cutoff, so the attack is bright and the sustained tone is rounder. The final beep is the countdown pitch raised by an interval and also gets a sub-octave sine for weight.
Envelope
three equal short beeps (4 ms attack, flat hold, 25 ms release) at a steady one-second pulse, then a long final beep (5 ms attack, slow 2 dB sag, 150 ms release). Ramps avoid clicks.
Variation
the base pitch, the interval of the "go" beep, the pulse spacing, the length of the final beep and the brightness; rng only adds a fraction of a cent of detune so the pair does not phase-lock.
