How it's made

Source
4-9 utensils fall into a drawer tray; 0.4-2 ms filtered noise excites each metal contact.
Body
each utensil has six inharmonic flexural modes, roughly 0.9-9 kHz; T60 is 90-330 ms. Upper modes decay first; close split modes add slight beating without a sustained bell tone.
Tray
each landing adds a soft 4 ms contact and damped 260/610/1130 Hz tray modes, T60 35-80 ms.
Events
staggered first landings within 20-200 ms, followed by two weaker, closer rebounds per piece. A faint 15-35 ms filtered scrape follows contact as the utensils slide against the dividers.
Envelope
irregular overlapping clinks settle by 700 ms; residual ringing fades by 1.02 s.
Variation
seeded timing, utensil tuning, contact strength and narrow stereo position vary independently. Presets change piece count, scattering, utensil size and tray damping; no room reverb is baked in.
