I think that's the signal for "pop" Pop is where the radar is turned on and off for a millisecond and some detectors can't detect it because they don't scan the frequencies quickly enough or it just gets rejected by the processor.
Radar gun manufacturers claim that POP is not accurate enough to use as a legal method to determine speed but that does not stop the Fuzz from using it.

No, the signal for "pop" is a distinct "pop" sound .... as if you have uncapped a bottle of champagne .... or flipped your finger in your cheek.
You can hear it constantly on the V1 website.

Turns out everyone is right
From V1's email response:
What the “Dee-Dah-Doo” Tone means
Valentine One is designed to recognize — and ignore —
phony POP signals transmitted by poorly-designed
detectors. Occasionally a false alarm will be started before
verification is certain. If it then determines the source is a
junk detector, it will notify you it is retractingthat alert with
a “Dee-Dah-Doo” sound. A flashing J ( ) indicating “junk”
will flash briefly in the Bogey Counter.
