The Deep Note isn't actually the one I'm curious about how they do,
specifically. I mean, I'd love to know, but I was talking about the 2001
alarm...how did they -originally- make those sounds, as it really pre-dates
most of the modern synths that would have been able to do it within any
sort of reasonable budget.
The only thing I can think of from that era -might- be an early Moog. And
that really only works if it had an LFO with a saw waveform. (That's how
the siren half is done in mine...and it's twitchy as hell to get just
right.)
Now... If you're interested in Deep Note...

Actually, having read that, no, I'm not interested. :) I do most of my
stuff by ear/feel, and that is -far- too technical an analysis of it for my
liking. :)
There's a thread with several Deep Note recreations here (some better than
others):
