Notes:
The circuit above provides a 'warble' alarm-call generator that simulates the european 'dee-dah-dee-dah' type sirens used in several european countries.

In the circuit, U1 is wired as a tone generator and U2 as a 1-Hz astable multivibrator, but in this case U2's output is used to frequency-modulate U1 via R5, the action being such that U1's frequency alternates between 440 and 550 Hz at a 1-Hz rate.
