Source: an electronic targeting readout. Each beep is a gated sine from a small piezo-style sounder (1.2–4 kHz); the gate has a 3 ms attack and 12 ms release, not a hard switch, so there are no clicks.
Body: the sounder's housing adds a weak 2nd harmonic and a very faint 3rd; a small shell resonance (band-pass at 1.6x pitch, Q 1.5) gives the beeps a plastic, glassy colour without harsh peaks.
Envelope: beeps of 18–45 ms; the gap between them shrinks geometrically from about 0.2 s to 0.05 s (the system closing in), each beep steps up a few percent in pitch and level. After the last beep a lock tone holds steady: 6 ms fade-in, sustain, 90 ms fade-out.
Modulation: the lock tone carries a quiet detuned twin (+0.4 %) that beats slowly for a subtle shimmer, and a faint high-passed air tick at each beep onset suggests relay contact.
Variation: `rng` mistunes the whole sounder by ±1 % and nudges each beep level; parameters set pitch, beep count, start and end gap, lock length and brightness. Presets: a sniper-style fast lock, a deep heavy-weapon lock, a soft cockpit variant and a rapid high acquire.
