How it's made

Source
one small wax candle; weak gas-flow turbulence is filtered pink noise, not a wood-fire roar.
Body
broad 180–2150 Hz air motion and a much weaker 900–2800 Hz wick hiss; no solid-body ringing.
Envelope
a continuous near-silent bed breathes at 0.4–0.8 changes/s, with irregular 7–13 Hz flutter. These are stochastic amplitude changes, not an audible periodic oscillator or a pitched flame tone.
Events
wick impurities make 0–0.38 tiny ticks/s, with 1–2 ms soft attacks and 9–22 ms damped tails. Each tick is band-limited noise with a brief softer low-mid tail; no large pops or bright sparks.
Modulation
slow flame motion jointly raises the turbulence cutoff and its level; flutter remains a soft change in noise level.
Variation
seeded streams vary air, flame motion, tick timing, strength and bandwidth independently. Still, swaying, wick-tick and distant presets change modulation depth, spectrum and event density.
Space
a dry mono point source in a silent room; no room noise or reverb. Six-second crossfaded loop targets -46 LUFS so the almost inaudible candle is not inflated into a fireplace ambience.
