Gas Burner Ignite

How it's made

Source

a piezo stove igniter gives 3-7 dry electrical ticks, spaced 85-145 ms apart. Each tick has a 0.15 ms attack and a 3 ms band-limited noise snap with a quieter 12 ms mechanical clack.

Body

the switch and burner cap colour the clack around 1.1 and 3.2 kHz with broad, damped bands; there are no sustained pitched modes, room reflections or wood-fire crackles.

Ignition

gas catches 22 ms after the last spark; a 14 ms attack, 210 ms low turbulent whump has a broad 180-350 Hz body and a noisy front whose low-pass falls from 2600 to 750 Hz in 180 ms.

Gas

a quiet pre-ignition jet opens over 70 ms; after ignition, 0.8-7 kHz turbulence settles over 230 ms into a steady hiss with 3-8 percent slow irregular pressure and spectral movement.

Envelope

all variants last about 2 s; the steady flame holds until 1.82 s, then fades over 180 ms as an editorial tail. The fade represents the end of the recording, rather than burner shutdown.

Variation

seeded tick timing, strength and filter tuning vary slightly. Presets change spark count, cadence, burner size and gas pressure for standard, simmer, reluctant and large-ring ignition.
