Each sketch has a different source, pulse pattern and proposed context. All sounds are synthesized locally; the diagrams show authored pitch ratios, not a recording or measured result.
sine / base 196 Hz / 700 ms pulses
Four rounded pulses: two return to the same pitch, the third lifts gently, and the fourth comes home.
A quiet interface transition study. Explore a recognizable change without a sharp alarm-like edge.
Which transition needs an audible cue, and what visible feedback already exists?

A brighter four-tone line that moves upward by unequal steps. Triangle partials make the edges more present.
A short sonic-identity study. Its rising contour can be discussed as a phrase rather than a single notification.
What should remain recognizable when the phrase is shortened or heard on a small speaker?

Three soft filtered-noise breaths with different centers and more space between them. There is no recorded wind or room sound.
A texture study for an ambient transition. Ask whether sound adds useful context or merely fills a silence.
Where does the texture begin and end, and should the experience also work in silence?

Try Round as an optional short gesture. Its returning pitch gives the phrase a clear ending; the absence of a sharp onset keeps the question focused on presence rather than urgency.
Test whether users want the cue, whether it is distinguishable from errors, and how it behaves on different devices. No usability outcome or client result is claimed.
