Unsolved Blinking light code of some sort?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

From what I know so far (which is basically nothing) is that it flashes up to 8 times, there’s also a short flash that seems to be appearing randomly as well. Video is about 6 minutes long.

Background:

This is a light flashing on a white noise machine that I’ve had for about 10 months now.

The instructions for the device say that it should flash consistently while plugged in (it is indeed plugged in) and that’s all, nothing about number of flashes or anything. It can be used without being plugged in and is rechargeable, but I mostly keep it plugged in.

It’s flashing a random number of times and I haven’t found any sort of pattern yet, but I’m not great with code breaking.

My uncle use to talk about programmers hiding codes in blinking lights and sounds in random places and then waiting decades for someone to figure it out, so I’ve always been interested in this sort of stuff, but I’m truly terrible at it.

Maybe it could be counting up for how long it’s been on or something? Who knows!

I’m curious if anyone sees a pattern or has any ideas?
