How it's made

Source
a steel bin lid falls rim-first onto a hard floor; 2-5 ms shaped noise excites the plate.
Body
a shallow circular plate, not a hollow can; 16 inharmonic modes span 280-6900 Hz. Low flexural modes decay in 0.65 s, upper modes in 0.13 s; split pairs produce metallic beating.
Events
first clang, rebounds at 0.19 and 0.43 s, then precessing rim contacts from 0.60 s. Contact intervals shrink from about 100 to 9 ms as the tilt collapses, with falling strength.
Layers
coherent plate modes are re-excited by each contact; short filtered friction bursts and a damped 170 Hz floor thump distinguish the rim scrape from the pitched plate vibration.
Envelope
contact damping progressively shortens the ring; a final 90 ms fade ends near 2 s.
Variation
seeded contact timing, force, mode tuning and subtle stereo movement vary each drop. Presets model a small bright lid, heavy steel, a prolonged spin and a damped floor landing.
