Would that be the same if I were to use this code? I think this is one you
previously showed me.
(setq low-freq 440) ; initial frequency - Hz
(setq hi-freq 1320) ; final frequency - Hz
(setq initial-amp 0.8) ; initial amplitude on a scale 0 to 1
(setq final-amp 0.1) ; final amplitude on a scale 0 to 1
(setq hz1 (min low-freq hi-freq))
(setq hz2 (max low-freq hi-freq))
(setq iamp (max (min initial-amp 1) 0))
(setq famp (max (min final-amp 1) 0))
(mult (pwlv iamp 1 famp)
(fmosc 0
(sum
hz1
(mult
(- hz1 hz2)
(sum -1 (pwev 1 1 0.01))))))

Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Noise Generator
The part of the code that generates the sound is the function FMOSC.
This function is described in the Nyquist manual here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rbd/doc/nyquist/part8.html#index378
In our example we don't use the optional "table" or "phase"
parameters. Most of the code is to create the modulation signal.
If you want to create a tone that goes up and down between say 100 Hz
and 1000 Hz, then you need to create a modulation signal that goes up
and down between values of 100 and 1000.
The HZOSC function produces a sine wav that goes up and down between +/- 1.
HZOSC is described here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rbd/doc/nyquist/part8.html#index368
As you will see from the above link, to make a signal that goes up and
down repeatedly once every 4 seconds, we can use this code:
(hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0))
You wont be able to hear this because the "note" has a frequency of
0.25 Hz, which is far too low to hear, but it is part way to creating
a suitable modulation signal. All that we need to do is to scale it so
that rather than going between +/- 1 it will go between 100 and 1000.
Adding "1" will make it go between 0 and 2.
(sum 1 (hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0)))
Then if we multiply by 450 it will go between 0 and 900
(mult 450 (sum 1 (hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0))))
Then if we add 100, it will be shifted up to go between 100 and 1000.
(sum 100 (mult 450 (sum 1 (hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0)))))
We now have a modulation signal that goes between 100 and 1000.
To make it easier to use, we can assign this as the value of a variable:
(setf mod (sum 100 (mult 450 (sum 1 (hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0))))))
We can now use the variable "mod" in the FMOSC function like this:
(setf mod (sum 100 (mult 450 (sum 1 (hzosc (/ 1.0 4.0))))))
(fmosc 0 mod)
Try substituting different numbers to get a different pitch and
different high/low speed.
Hope that helps to get you started.

I got it to work, however, it only does the windup side of the siren. How
would I make the wind-down of the siren? Would I reverse the order of
frequencies? How about the yelp and piercer tones? Would they be made with
the
same code?

That code is written for the Nyquist Prompt.

Attached is some code that may help to get you started.
The code came from this forum topic and there is additional information

Hi, it's Annabelle.
I know this might sound strange but, I wonder if there's a way for me
to make a noise generator that generates the four common siren tones,
wail, yelp, hyperyelp, and hi-lo? If there is, what would be the code
for me to make these? Also, being blind, how would I make this into a
plugin?
