Your task is to convert a signal code number into a string of beacon alert patterns.

Your task is to convert an alert code number into a string of alarm chime sounds.

Your team maintains an internal alert triage service. Each incoming alert carries five severity tags — tokens composed of a level indicator and a category code (e.g. 4S 5H 7C 8D JC). The ranking rules for these tag sets follow standard poker hand rankings.
