Car Lock Sound Suggestions?

i wanted to do a robotic-whirring transformer style sound, but all the clips were too vague and obnoxious.

ended up with a soft windows-shutdown chime.

might later switch to the special edition macOS startup sound, which is the most pleasant (at 0:30)
 
Here's one on FreeSound.org, Freesound - Alarma de carro.wav by valeulloam97

I'm looking for ideas and tips on combining recorded bird chirps into a similar sound that's also a short tune.
  • What bird calls have a primary tone, are pleasant, and ideally don't live in North America (just for fun with bird experts)?
  • What's a fitting short musical quote? The ...— from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?

Thank you!

How about Rivian’s chirp?

Nice! That'd probably confuse Rivian drivers more than birders :) except I'm inclined to try it slowed down and reduced in pitch.

It also led to "The Sounds of Rivian" story behind their sound effects. They also have a philosophy of sounds to fit the environment.
Sounds that fit environment- sorta like screaming late night in the ghetto or beer cans rolling around the homeless and car crashes after 2:00 hit and runs
