a 38-145 Hz rumble bed stays grounded while six inharmonic modes climb independently; ratios 1, 1.067, 1.43, 1.91, 2.63, 3.71 create beating and roughness rather than a musical chord.
Friction
pink-noise bands track the modes at moderate Q; a broad scrape opens from 450 to 4200 Hz. Smooth random bow-pressure drift and accelerating flutter prevent a static oscillator texture.
Envelope
the pressure bed enters over 180 ms; friction emerges later and grows on a convex ramp. All layers build to the final instant, then share a 15 ms cut with no reverb or impact after it.
Spectrum
high-pass at 30 Hz removes drift; a 6.5 kHz low-pass restrains the screech's upper edge.
Variation
seeded mode detuning and independent pressure motion; presets cover sub-heavy menace, metallic tearing, accelerating panic, and a longer restrained suspense build.
