HT 1250 Weird Self Test Tone

It's not the usual "Dat Dat". Can anyone explain? The radio seems to work good and has no error codes. I have attached a link to what it does.

That's what Motorola calls the "musical" tone. It's a selection in the CPS, under one of the general settings tabs. That, the standard tone, and no tone are the only choices.
