News Bulletin! "We interrupt this programme..."

I'm trying to find an audio clip/snippet of the morse code that you might think of when you'd have a news bulletin. I'm having such a hard time trying to google for this with no clue of any formal name for the sound in question.

Hopefully someone here can help me?

Edit😱k what do you guys think of this sound? This is almost exactly what I was thinking about prior to my search.

Thank you, those are better than nothing at this point but to be truthful half of them are too spaztastic and the other half are too elongated or with long pauses.

I wasn't sure if there is a specific message that is being spelt out in the sound I'm looking for or not.

You very well may be right. Can you find a sound clip of what you are talking about? I just have this faint idea in my head of the sound...it's not like I've heard it recently or anything 🙂. Any help would be great!


Edit: No, I don't think that was what I was thinking about (regarding your update w/ Teletype sound)
 
Ok what do you guys think of this sound? This is almost exactly what I was thinking about prior to my search.

Btw, to anyone wondering "why?" I need this, it is for a little class project I'm doing.
 
Didn't they used to do the "SOS" morse code on those old WWII movie news things. People would go to see a movie and they'd put the news about the war at the beginning.
