A pilot already burning upwards who then adds a sideways thruster has lit an engine, and that is what an engine lighting sounds like. So what is watched is now the SET of thrusters rather than whether any of them is lit: the bits on now that were not on before, which is an exclusive or and an and and no comparison at all. The rumble still asks the old question, because it is the right question for it - struck when the first lights and not again until every one has gone out. Restriking it when a second joins would start its attack over, which is a stutter rather than an engine, so it keeps a flag of its own. Pitches are as tuned by ear: 36 for the pop, 60 for the rumble. Checked by two flights of the same length, one thruster held throughout against one that gains a second in the middle. The rumble is identical in both, so the whole of the difference is the extra pop: peak 11,452 against 15,540, and the recordings diverge at 3.19 seconds, which is the frame the second thruster lights.
