Electric guitar.

The spring shows compressions and rarefactions of a longitudinal sound wave (a steady, periodic tone). A vibrating guitar string produces that kind of sustained pressure wave in air. A ticking clock makes short pulses, thunder is irregular, and a fire alarm is more a repetitive beep rather than a single sustained tone.
