How it's made
- Source
- a battery-powered piezo disc driven for 85–165 ms near 2.7–4.1 kHz, in one pulse.
- Body
- the disc favours its fundamental; weak 2x/3x drive harmonics add a thin electrical edge. A 1.63x housing mode and band-limited startup noise die within 14–24 ms, below the main tone.
- Envelope
- a 2.5 ms startup and 4 ms switch-off feed a Q=16 disc resonance with a short free ring. Supply sag reduces level during the pulse; all output fades out before 0.22 s, followed by silence.
- Modulation
- a 10 ms settling bend falls into tune, then a 0–1.8 percent downward supply drift.
- Variation
- seeded disc tuning varies by 0.15 percent. Pitch, pulse width, harmonic edge and supply sag distinguish a standard detector, small bright disc, depleted battery and lower damped housing.
- Space
- dry mono point source; no room reflections or repeated alarm pattern is baked in.

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