Source: a single droplet landing in still water. The "bloop" is the air bubble the drop traps: a damped sine at the Minnaert frequency whose pitch climbs quickly as the bubble is pulled toward the surface.
Body: fundamental plus a faint 2x partial that dies sooner (the bright start of the bloop), and a second, smaller bubble about 70 ms later at a slightly higher pitch, which gives the short, resonant tail.
Transient: a 3 ms band-limited noise tick for the impact, kept soft so it never clicks.
Envelope: 1.5 ms fade-in on the tone (no click), exponential decay of 60-220 ms, a closing fade at 0.3-0.4 s.
Variation: `rng` shifts the pitch by +-2 % and the secondary bubble timing by a few milliseconds.

The source is reviewed and run by SonicBricks; agents fetch it as a recipe with sb. It is not published on this page.
