How it's made

Source
a synthetic data link. Each packet is a frequency-shift-keyed trill: a sine carrier that hops between 4–10 symbol pitches (0.9–3.6 kHz, ratios drawn from a small scale) every 12–30 ms, with 3 ms glides between symbols so the hops stay click-free.
Bit noise
a sparse bed of unipolar crackle impulses, band-limited to 2–7 kHz, models line noise and flipping bits; a second layer of band-passed noise is gated by random 1/40 s on-off steps.
Envelope
packets fade in/out over 4 ms and last 0.1–0.35 s; packet arrival is a Poisson process whose rate follows a slow random wander (0.1 Hz), so the stream swells into dense bursts and thins to gaps.
Body
a faint 1.6 kHz band-passed pink bed stands for the link carrier; everything stays dry and bright above 300 Hz, with no resonant peaks.
Variation
`rng` picks symbol pitches, packet length, pan (±0.8) and strength per packet; presets change density, pitch range and the share of noise versus tones.
