Abstract

A method and apparatus, of producing an alarm or ringing signal by providing a first pulse signal having a predetermined pulse width to define an alarm or ringing signal amplitude, and modulating the pulse signal with a second pulse signal having a pulse rate at least an order lower than the frequency of the first pulse signal to define the alarm or ringing signal frequency, averaging the modulated first pulse signal in a loudspeaker voice coil and reproducing the result in the loudspeaker to provide the alarm or ringing signal.
