Violent Storm Gusts

How it's made

Source

violent open-air turbulence; independent pink-noise sheets form the stereo roar, with white noise for the shearing air at the crests. No tonal building whistles, rain or debris are included.

Body

broad Q 0.55 bands move through 180–2600 Hz as pressure rises; a centred 32–155 Hz brown-noise layer models large turbulent eddies. High-pass filtering removes infrasonic drift.

Envelope

overlapping slow gusts and 0.5–2 Hz random eddies drive nonlinear pressure swells, cutoff and amplitude together. Independent lateral eddies interrupt the main front without hard transients.

Layers

low pressure lags the leading air by 180 ms; 900–6200 Hz shear wakes only at strong crests. All filters are broad, and modulation is smoothed, avoiding whistles and abrupt switching.

Variation

seeded gusts and independent noise streams evolve for arbitrary durations. Front speed, shear, rumble and lateral disorder distinguish rolling fronts, close squalls, dark and exposed storms.

Space

dry stereo air with centred bass; no artificial reverberation. Renderer supplies edge fades.
