How it's made

Source
a boot kicks a thin sheet-steel can. The strike is a 2–6 ms low-passed noise thump (foot and dented wall) plus a short metallic crack; a hard kick is brighter and shorter.
Body
a hollow cylinder. A dominant shell/air mode near 190 Hz gives the "bang"; inharmonic sheet modes (ratios ≈ 1 : 1.62 : 2.31 : 3.4 : 4.9, 0.25–0.9 s) give the metal ring; a 120–260 Hz cavity resonance adds the hollow boom.
Wobble
a flexing thin wall modulates the ring. A 6–11 Hz amplitude wobble on the upper modes decays with the ring, as the can rocks and settles.
Rattle
the lid and loose debris bounce and roll. Poisson ticks (1.5–5 kHz, 3–12 ms) start dense and thin out as the can rolls to rest, under a band-passed rolling-noise bed that follows the same fade.
Envelope
crack in 1 ms, body falls over ~0.7 s, rattle lasts to ~1.1 s; everything is gone by 1.3 s.
Variation
`rng` detunes the modes by ±1.5 %, jitters tick timing, pitch and strength.
