What frequency is the censor bleep sound?
The classic TV censor bleep is a 1,000 Hz (1 kHz) sine tone — a broadcast convention dating back to test tones on analog equipment. That's exactly what the downloads above are: a pure 1 kHz sine with short fades so it doesn't click. If you want it gentler, the 600 Hz "soft" variant reads as less aggressive at the same loudness; a deeper tone around 350 Hz reads almost apologetic. Any of them works — the audience's brain fills in the censored word either way, which is the whole joke and the whole point.
How to use these bleeps in your editor
Drop the tone on an audio track above your clip, align it with the word, and cut or duck the original audio underneath for the same duration. Add a ~10ms fade on the original audio at each cut so it doesn't click. (That's also exactly what CensorMate automates — including finding the words in the first place.)
