The paperweight worked after I fixed a broken wire and powered it from a power supply, and it generated the beeping sound. However, after I re-assembled it, it switched to an annoying fast-beep. I don't know if a component failed or I messed something up during assembly.

You can hear the beeping here: https://twitter.com/kenshirriff/status/1411032440534028289
