How it's made

Source
chain-drive sectional door; 60/120 Hz motor hum, gear harmonics and filtered roller friction.
Body
hollow sheet panels resonate at 145, 267, 463 and 790 Hz with 50–190 ms damping; chain links add short inharmonic 1.4–4.6 kHz chatter, rather than long bell-like ringing.
Envelope
motor takes 280 ms to reach speed, pulls for about 5.3 s, then cuts off in 22 ms. A trolley knock and slack-chain rebounds settle within 550 ms; the entire action lasts about 6 s.
Events
chain teeth pass at 19–29 Hz with timing jitter; panel hinges cross the curved track in paired knocks roughly every 0.8 s. Rolling noise changes colour as the panels move overhead.
Variation
seeded timing, force, tuning and small stereo offsets; travel controls lift time, weight lowers panel modes, looseness increases chain chatter, and motor controls drive prominence.
Presets
maintained standard, loose aging chain, damped heavy insulated panels, and light steel panels. Dry close perspective; no room reverb, with bounded resonances and band-limited excitation.
