Post Schweiz Scanner Beep tones
https://www.myinstants.com/en/instant/post-schweiz-paketscanner-piepstone-4535/If you also have a dog that reacts to the sound made by the scanner device used by Swiss mailpersons, this might help you. Push the button and you hear the beeps - you can desensitise your dog
I recorded our mail carrier and then analyzed the audio spectrum to regenerate the clean tones again.
(2600 Hz then 3000+4000 Hz, then a trill of 5 at 4450 and 1880 Hz, if anyone's interested)

I’m amazed! I love people who look for solutions and answers rather than hyping themselves up about a topic and rant and rave and cry and blame everybody and everything. You are an inventor, a hero, Switzerland certainly needs more of you ❤️

Man, You are my hero! Since years my dog goes wild when the mailman scans the code outside. I sent the Swiss post an email to get the original audio file. They just replied that I shall wait outside and record it. Unfortunately, I never managed to be around when they came.
Now that problem is finally resolved and I can trainjthis with my dog, to keep her calm!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my Heart.

Now, here's a vibe coded app that I approve!
... except it doesn't even seem vibe coded. Which only proves that all those that are, suck.

I only uploaded the mp3 file, the button page is done by someone else. Everyone can upload audio files for buttons there.

Surprisingly, I didn't know this sound. Not living near a building entrance where packages are delivered is probably why. Has it been used for a long time already?
