How it's made
- Source
- a compressed-air ejector pushes the torpedo out of its tube (a 10 ms pressure pop plus a 0.3 s air hiss), then the motor ignites: turbulent combustion noise, then a turbine-like whine as it leaves.
- Body
- the ejection is a tube cavity thump (sine falling 120 -> 42 Hz, band-limited noise knock at ~180 Hz). The roar is brown and pink noise under a low-pass that opens from 250 Hz to ~2.4 kHz and closes again; the whine is a saw/sine pair with a 3 % detune, low-passed at 3x its pitch so no harmonic rings harshly.
- Envelope
- the thump peaks at 0 s and is gone by 0.3 s; ignition follows after a short delay with a 0.15 s flare, the roar holds to ~0.7 s and decays; the whine fades in, then falls in pitch (receding Doppler) while its level drops over the final second.
- Variation
- `rng` shifts ignition delay (+-5 %), whine pitch (+-3 %) and pan drift; presets change delay, balance of thump, roar and whine, whine pitch and length.
| Parameter | Range | Default | Unit | Controls |

| thump | 0 – 1 | 0.7 | — | Thump |
| roar | 0 – 1 | 0.7 | — | Roar |
| whine | 0 – 1 | 0.5 | — | Whine |
| pitch | 700 – 2600 | 1500 | Hz | Whine pitch |
| delay | 0.05 – 0.5 | 0.15 | s | Ignition delay |
| length | 1.2 – 2.6 | 2 | s | Length |
| seed | int | 1 | — | Variation, reproducible |
