Single Wind Gust

How it's made

Source

a single packet of fast turbulent air passing the listener; pink noise supplies the roar, with independent white-noise shear and brown-noise pressure layers, rather than a pitched oscillator.

Body

a broad Q 0.6 band sweeps from 240 Hz to 0.8-2.2 kHz with flow speed. Pressure is confined to 45-190 Hz; shear opens from 1.2 to 3.8-7 kHz. No narrow edge tones or baked-in reverberation.

Envelope

a rounded 0.9-1.3 s approach reaches one strong peak, then a longer wake fades by 2.9 s at the default length. Shear trails the pressure by about 0.1 s; all layers end through a zero envelope.

Modulation

independent smooth eddies at 4 and 9 targets/s ripple the roar by at most 22 percent; the common flow contour drives spectral opening and nonlinear pressure growth without extra gusts.

Space

the coherent core traverses up to +/-0.9 pan, while two decorrelated shear streams spread around it. The low pressure stays near centre so the pass retains weight and mono compatibility.

Variation

seeded peak timing and eddies vary each pass. Length, brightness, pressure, turbulence and direction produce a broad gale, a bass-heavy squall, a crisp reverse pass and a muffled distant gust.
