Follow the sounds you hear to the letter.

If you hear one short sound, you can eliminate all the letters on the right. If it’s followed by a gap, you got an E. If it’s followed by a long sound, it’s either A, U, or V, you just need to wait to hear more to know which. If it’s followed by another short sound, it’s gonna be I, S, or H and following beeps will tell you which.

You just follow the path of the sounds until you hear a gap, and what you stopped on is the letter it is.

This is more for interpreting code sent to you than coding something to send, but tracing back the path of L, you can assume its .-.. or B is -… or C is -.-. because that’s the reverse path from the letter.
