I'm even hesitant to call it noise, at least not in the usual 
statistical sense. As far as audio signals are concerned, I'm 
interested in that fine line between harmonic oscillation, octave 
doubling and "real" noise, which of course assumes the ability to very 
minutely control the parameters that are involved.

BTW, introducing a nonlinearity into the feedback path of a resonant 
filter should also creates chaos. Quadratic is said to be enough, but 
I've not tried that yet, unfortunately. This topology would be very 
similar to the cascaded integrator setup you are using.

I'll have a listen to the demos later this week.

Pulse trains are cool, especially if you can use several of them that 
have some limited correlation to each other. With the right combination 
of parameters you may be able to produce auditory illusions.

No need to be sorry for your web page and these MP3 sizes are quite 
manageable...
