Source: a piezo disc buzzer driven by a square wave from a microcontroller, switched on and off in groups of short beeps. Drive is a band-limited square at 1.2–4 kHz plus a slightly narrower pulse whose width varies per beep, standing in for drive tolerance.
Body: the ceramic disc resonates near its drive frequency (band-pass, Q ≈ 3) and the plastic case adds a weak, broad 1.2 kHz coloration. A low-pass at 2–6 × the pitch tames the upper harmonics of the square, so the tone is bright but not piercing.
Envelope: each beep is gated with a 3 ms rise and an 8 ms fall (no clicks); a beep lasts 45–80 % of the beep period. The first beep of every group is slightly stronger, which gives the phrase its pulse.
Rhythm: by default 4 beeps at 8 Hz per group, a 0.4 s pause, and three groups, about 2.5 s in total.
Variation: `rng` detunes each beep by a fraction of a percent. Macros set pitch, tempo, group size, group count and brightness; presets move between kitchen, watch, oven, gentle and urgent timers.
