How it's made

Source
air torn by an object passing the listener from left to right: pink noise for the turbulent body, a thinner high-passed layer for the edge hiss, and a faint resonant whistle from the object's shape.
Body
a band-pass (Q ≈ 1.1) whose centre climbs while the object approaches and falls faster once it has passed, a Doppler-like pitch shift (the whistle glides from above to below its rest frequency); a low rumble layer swells underneath and a low-pass closes the top end as the object recedes (air absorption).
Envelope
level swells slowly to a peak at about 45 % of the length, then drops away faster; the equal-power pan travels from hard left to hard right in step with the swell, so the loudest moment is near the centre.
Variation
length, brightness, doppler depth, whistle, travel direction and body; `rng` shifts the peak time by a few percent and decorrelates the left and right air.
