Previously you said:

"precalculate a second of noise normalized to the band sizes and
randomly pick from these"

Could you elaborate on what you have in mind please?

At the moment I'm thinking that all band sizes would have to be found
from the swb_offset[] tables. Then I don't really understand what
you're suggesting we have for each band size.
