These indicate problems found by diagnostic routines.  For an
explanation, use the mac-ii-diagnostic-sounds application archived
in SUMEX-AIM:/info-mac/sound/programs/

I've been told that _Inside Mac_ explains them but I can't find them
either there or in the _Macintosh Family Hardware Reference_.
