Partial While compiling Rust to WebAssembly and connecting Web Audio is straightforward, writing the custom DSP recipes that procedurally synthesize realistic biological creature calls sample-by-sample requires specialized audio engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack relies on Rust, CPAL, and WebAssembly feeding the Web Audio API. The difficult part is real-time procedural sound synthesis: formulating the DSP algorithms (FM synthesis, resonant formant filters, and stochastic modulators) that realistically mimic animal acoustics without pre-recorded samples. This requires specialized domain expertise in digital signal processing and psychoacoustics.
