A Geometry Nodes tree, generating interacting wave-effect. True "Inertial Wave Propagation" rather than just a simple sine-wave displacement. The wave fronts have momentum and physical damping.
- Mechanism: Propagating wave array simulating inertial surface displacement and self-interacting wave fronts.
- Audio Integration: Sound transients trigger directional wave pulses that ripple outward with natural physical decay and wave interference.
- Controls: Wave velocity, damping factor, row instance density, interference intensity, and amplitude height.
- While perfectly tuned for audio reactivity, it seamlessly reacts to any procedural or keyframed input you provide.
- The setup comes fully labeled with explanations so you can easily adapt it for your own vision.

✦ Blender 5.2 Real-Time Audio Update: This setup now takes full advantage of Blender 5.2's new real-time audio processing capabilities! Using the new Sample Sound Frequencies node, the wave fronts react instantly to audio inputs—completely eliminating the old, tedious workflow of baking audio to an animation curve first.

Developer's Note:
This node tree is kept clean for easier readability and features detailed explanations. Everything is built from the ground up.
The goal is to provide a base core of the concept, node by node, rather than hiding everything inside grouped nodes with exposed settings. This makes the logic much easier to read, dissect, and learn from.
You can embellish and refine the core to realize your own ideas. Read the internal text descriptions, as they contain a lot of useful info!
