  If I remember correctly Google open-sourced an ML toolkit to do just that a few years back, I forget the name but someone spun up an online sandbox with it that lets you experiment with combining different sample sources edit: found it here: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/sound-maker https://experiments.withgoogle.com/sound-maker

  Logic’s Sculpture synth allows you to create synthesis using materials, such as nylon, wood, metal, etc; and move in between them to create sounds like this. :)

    That's called physical modeling. Another synth that does this is Chrompahone by AAS: https://www.applied-acoustics.com/chromaphone-3/ https://www.applied-acoustics.com/chromaphone-3/ In fact it was used by Richard Devine to produce UI sounds for Google.
