How it's made

Source
urethane wheels on concrete excite continuous 65-1900 Hz rolling noise and fine aggregate chatter. Pink noise supplies the loaded wheel rumble; filtered velvet impulses model individual grain contacts.
Body
each sidewalk joint drives damped deck/truck modes at 175, 430 and 970 Hz (35-85 ms T60). Contact is a rounded 0.7 ms attack with a 4-9 ms release, not a bare digital impulse.
Rhythm
4-12 joints per four seconds. Front and rear axles cross each joint 0.32 intervals apart, representing a 0.38 m wheelbase and roughly 1.2 m slabs. Speed stays steady within each preset.
Modulation
small 0.8 Hz load wander moves rolling level and cutoff; wheel rotation adds shallow flutter.
Variation
independent seeded road grains, joint strength and mode detuning avoid identical impacts. Presets vary speed, wheel hardness, concrete roughness and joint depth; the sound stays dry and close.
Loop
four seconds holds whole joint and wheel-flutter periods; joint pairs sit away from the seam.
