Lyrebird Sound Mimicry: Syrinx Waveform Console (2D)

The 3D original shows a lyrebird dancing on its display mound while a stylized panel implies it is "hearing" mimicked sounds through decorative colored waves. This 2D companion builds the real mechanism behind that idea: six target sounds (kookaburra laugh, grey shrike warble, camera shutter, car alarm, chainsaw, camcorder beep) are synthesized on the fly with Web Audio oscillators and filtered noise, then fed through a live AnalyserNode whose actual time-domain and frequency-domain output — not a canned animation — is drawn as the oscilloscope trace and spectrum bars you see. A duet toggle layers a second voice a fifth above the first, illustrating the lyrebird's real biological trait of a two-branched syrinx capable of producing two independent sounds at once.
