Whining Insect Flyby
A tiny wing-driven whine wobbles, swells beside the ear and drops in pitch as it flies away.

How it's made
- Source
- rapid wing strokes at 560-1000 Hz; sine partials at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 times wing rate.
- Body
- the second and third partials dominate the thin whine; weak fundamental avoids a heavy buzz. Low-Q filtered air at 2-6 kHz adds wing turbulence, strongest at the closest approach.
- Motion
- a straight pass maps range to inverse-distance level and radial velocity to Doppler pitch. A 5-20 m/s relative speed produces a smooth downward shift; stereo position follows the same path.
- Envelope
- 1.4-2.5 s flight, 70 ms soft onset, a narrow close-level swell near 48%, and 160 ms exit.
- Modulation
- 17-31 Hz wing instability plus 4 Hz seeded wander bend all partials together by 0.3-2%.
- Variation
- seed changes wing tuning by 1%, flutter phase and turbulence; presets change pitch, speed, closest range, flight time and stability. Dry direct sound leaves environment placement to the user.
