How it's made

Source
a glass pane under load. Stored elastic energy is released in micro-fractures; each one is a 0.2–1.5 ms stick-slip noise burst (sharp tick, bright above ~3 kHz).
Body
every fracture excites the pane's glass modes (small effective size, so ringing partials sit at 2–9 kHz, decaying 0.1–0.5 s), heard as tense high pings.
Envelope
the first crack is the loudest; follow-up cracks spread outward as the fracture front travels, starting dense and thinning out over ~1.3 s, each softer than the last, with a quiet settling ping tail.
Variation
`rng` jitters timing, strength, pitch and pan of every crack, so no two runs are alike.
