Change parameters to build an exact command. Your agent runs it with sb and gets the WAV.

How it's made
Source
stress release in thick lake ice; a rounded 4 ms filtered fracture excites plate vibration.
Dispersion
flexural group speed increases with frequency. Three delayed wave packets approximate high frequencies arriving first: f = floor + sweep / (1 + t/tau)^2, not a linear laser pitch bend.
Body
inharmonic plate modes at 0.72, 1, 1.63 and 2.39 times the low anchor; T60 1.5-4.3 s.
Envelope
packets bloom in 6-18 ms, descend from roughly 3 kHz toward 200-600 Hz, then ring for seconds. Higher branches decay faster; a smooth final taper reaches zero at 4.85 s, without a hard cutoff.
Space
weak delayed, darkened propagation paths widen the tail; no room reverb or continuous wind bed.
Variation
seeded tuning +/-1.2%, onset offsets and lateral position. Anchor sets ice scale, dispersion sets travel time, ring sets damping, distance removes high frequencies; twin adds a second stress release.
