How it's made

Source
tiny membrane wings beating 12–25 times per second. Each stroke pushes a soft puff of air, so the sound is band-limited air noise (2–7 kHz) whose level is chopped by the wingbeat, not a tone.
Flutter
two slightly detuned beat rates (ratio 1.37) multiply into an irregular, never-mechanical pattern; the strokes are squared and smoothed over 4 ms so they stay soft. The left and right wing beat out of phase, which widens the image.
Wobble
the distance and angle of the hovering creature slowly change the level and the brightness of the flutter (0.5 and 0.75 Hz, whole cycles in the 4 s loop).
Twinkles
magic dust as sparse sine pings on a pentatonic set around 2.4–4 kHz with a faint octave partial, a 4 ms soft attack, a 250–450 ms exponential ring and a random pan; the rate is a few per second.
Variation
`rng` picks the note, ring time, level and position of every twinkle; presets change wingbeat rate, air colour, wobble depth and twinkle density.
