Yeah, these are probably square waves. They sound like it, and square waves are the easiest to generate.

You can actually see this on the spectrograms too. Square waves have only odd-numbered harmonics, so the frequencies should be like: fundamental fundamental * 3 fundamental * 5 fundamental * 7 etc. If you look at the first note on the first image, it looks like the fundamental is around 2,200Hz, the first (loud) overtone is around 6,600, next around 11,000, etc. (There are some much quieter overtones at even multiples too, because hardware isn't perfect.)
