as usual you are about to lose me :^P

I thought the 1/f^2 was more a probability rating. Isn't the spectral (harmonic)
distribution of a single event different than this.   The louder pops would be
less
frequent, smaller ones would be more frequent... but harmonically they would
still be a 'pop' ???

Wouldn't that be quite inaudible ???
