About the sound
This is a kitchen scale made by the Swedish company Nils Johan in the 1970s. Nils Johan was a prominent manufacturer of kitchenware in Sweden and many products that remain popular to this day were manufactured by them and their famous designers, such as the tin opener Röda Clara or the many different kinds of cutlery they manufactured.
