as I understand it, Deep Note shows up in a 1983 demo CD released in called The Digital Domain.
It was generated by a C program written by Dr. James A. Moorer when he was working for Lucasfilm. Its first use was before "Return of the Jedi" as far as I know. IIRC, it was semi-random, and they recorded quite a few versions as it ran through the algorithm until they got one they liked.
Incidentally, the top reviewer on this Amazon page wrote the following about the jet engine sound you mentioned:
> To hear the water trickle, you have to turn the volume up quite a bit and when that jet flys by, the whole room started shaking and the windows rattled and I thought for a moment, a real Jet had just flown over my house! ... They should have put a warning label on it!
Some of these old demo CDs are damned impressive. I might have a go and order this one. :)
"The Digital Domain: A Demonstration", released in 1983 to show off the features of this new fangled CD format. Bought in when it came out, a week before I dropped hundreds on my first CD player, a Sony CDP101.

The Digital Domain: A Demonstration. Used copies on Amazon seem pretty cheap.
Well, thanks for sharing!
