How it's made

Source
a bucketful of water hits ground as a thick sheet, then tears into smaller sheets and drops. Independent filtered noise bursts model turbulent contact, not a pitched solid-object impact.
Body
the initial mass is broad 65-700 Hz pressure noise; slapping sheets occupy 350 Hz-7 kHz. As the film thins, its broad spectral emphasis rises from 650 to 2300 Hz and then loses treble.
Envelope
12 ms leading surge, main slap at 65 ms, overlapping folds through 350 ms; spreading flow peaks near 250 ms and drains by 1.45 s. Sparse returning droplets finish near 1.9 s.
Events
22-54 irregular sheet fragments cluster early; 5-17 late droplets land from 0.5-1.8 s. Small air pockets in the new shallow puddle add quiet 1-3 mm bubble chirps beneath noisy contacts.
Variation
seeded timing, spectra, strengths and stereo positions; mass lengthens the surge, hardness brightens ground contact, spread widens and sustains flow, and drips sets late detail.
Space
dry close perspective; four presets cover hard paving, soft earth, broad throw and wet ground.
