Metering Software Question

I'm wondering who the hell is responsible for a particularly
annoying audio peak amplitude indicator metering function.
Specifically, after the peak hold time has expired, instead
of extinguishing, the peak indicator slowly drifts downward
one segment at a time. Bink. Bink. Bink. Useless, useless
info. Actually worse than useless...
It's hard to believe such lunacy could independently occur
in more than one person. Any pointers to the actual source
would be appreciated.

That's simple. The source is the analogue mechanical meter on which it
was based. The pointer doesn't vanish when the peak is finished, it
slowly drifts down, one graduation at a time.
