How it's made

Source
a handheld dryer at high speed; continuous white-noise jet and pink intake turbulence. The jet spans 130 Hz to 6-10 kHz; the intake adds a broad 250-1600 Hz rushing body.
Body
a damped plastic barrel colours the air at 720 and 1450 Hz (Q 0.8 and 1.1). A 340-420 Hz rotor drives weak second/third harmonics and a six-blade 2.0-2.5 kHz whine.
Envelope
already running, steady six-second sustain with no switch or spin-up transient. Engine crossfades the loop seam; slow 0.5 Hz breathing and 23 Hz flutter stay below 7 percent.
Modulation
shared seeded drift changes motor pitch by 0.16 percent and air cutoff by 3 percent; shallow blade-rate amplitude modulation adds fine rotor grain without discrete clicks.
Variation
speed changes rotor and blade pitch; jet focus changes air spectrum and barrel balance. Presets model open high airflow, a narrow nozzle, a diffuse hood and off-axis pickup, all dry.
