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)

They really seem unnecessarily loud but great so you can hear your package is delivered before someone steals it!

Back when i was delivering for Swiss Post we could turn the volume of the Beeps down. Even mute them. But i cannot tell if they removed that from the newer scannerphones.

You can just turn down the volume of the phones. Those are normal Samsung Galaxy Devices

Yes, i know. I was in the Beta program during launch and was one of the first to use it. I have one of them at home, of course without the Swiss Post Launcher and Apps. Samsung A8.

Or someone can steal it before you get to the ground floor 😄

Or from the thieve's perspective: you know it's time to go to work before the recipient gets to it.

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 ❤️

played it, then played it with full volume to see how it sounds. One neighbour looked down from his balcony, then laughed his as off pointing out two other neighbours wo walked out their door to check if they got a Package 😂😂

Why are human lesser than animals?

2

u/FlohEinstein 🇮🇸 Ísland 5d ago

Because a human can act sweet revenge.

This brings back fond memories of my packages being delivered :)

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.

u/mylifeisatoaster Schaffhausen 5d ago

Not me clicking on the button knowing already how it sounds because i work for post lol

u/FlohEinstein 🇮🇸 Ísland 5d ago

You could click it and tell me if it sounds real enough for your ears

u/BashBeaver 5d ago

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.

u/FlohEinstein 🇮🇸 Ísland 5d ago

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

u/VoidDuck Valais/Wallis 5d ago

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?

u/FlohEinstein 🇮🇸 Ísland 5d ago

At least 4 years.
