Sounds of the Scout

The sound is related to the signal strength. The Scout's
audio increases in pitch as signal strength ramps up, and
decreases in pitch as signal strength ramps down.
The pitch will only increase as the signal strength goes
up. When the signal strength decreases the audio pitch
will decrease until it reaches the bottom of its tonal
range. If signal strength continues to decrease, the
audio will ramp downward to a base-warble tone until
signal strength begins to increase again.
Adjust the sound by pressing the Sound Key.
