There is a sound I hear a lot in industrial music, and I would like to
be able to produce it myself.  It's kind of a tonal white noise sound,
with a percussive quality to it.  Absolute best example I can think of
for this sound, is "War" by Wumpscut, which you can hear at this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MByVLThpfDw

It's really THE most noticeable sound in the song, obviously he layers
in some bass lines and pushes it all through a lot of distortion
effects and stuff, but 90% of that song is comprised of that sound I
want to use.  What do you call this sound, and how do you make it?  Is
there any way to achieve this with a modular?  Or does it require a
sampler?

The usual way to generate a tonal noise sound is the usage of a noise source
(e.g. A-118 or A-117, I'd prefer the A-117 for industrial sounds) and
process the noise by a band pass or low pass with high resonance. You should
use a filter with good 1V/octave tracking (e.g. the SSM or CEM based filters
of the modular system like A-105, A-106-6, A-107, A-109, A-121, A-122).  You
could also try out to overload/distort the VCF for a more dirty sound. To
obtain a percussive sound the filter output has to be processed by a
(exponential) VCA controlled by an ADSR.

Hi

To my opinion this sound is made by sequenced BBDs. The audiosource is a 
VCO, which plays constantly the same base note, plus some noise. The 
tonal sequence is generated by a resonant BBD (vulgo flanger), whose 
delaytime is controlled by the sequencer.

Wumpscut must have used a dirty and maybe digital white noise sample and just mesed 
around with the pitch through his sequencer... pretty sure he didnt use a modular when thie 
album embryodead came out!!
