That tonal figure is known in musical parlance as a Major Triad, which is comprised of three tones: The Root note, the Major Third (four half-steps above the root), and a Perfect Fifth (three half-steps above the third).
In the case of your recorded message, it's an E Major Triad, made of the notes E, G#, and B (that's assuming my piano is in relative tune, haha).
Major triads have an up, bright, and happy feel. These popular songs were written and recorded in the key of E Major:
"Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain" (Willie Nelson), "No Rain" (Blind Melon), and "Georgia on My Mind" (Ray Charles).
Thanks Sharine. There are four tones that go off. Each tone seems to drop down in frequency to where the last one is audibly hard to hear. Is it still a Major Triad with four tones?
Flipping amazing, Mike, and you captured it!
