I haven't tried it, but here are a few ideas:
1) Start with the buzz generator. :) Or gbuzz, as it might be easier to get the proper sound this
way.
2) Use filtering. For a mosquito, maybe some highpass filtering. For a housefly, maybe something
like a lowpass filter combined with reson, with reson being modulated by the buzz signal (be sure
kr=sr for this). This should help get that flatulent, sputtering effect.
3) Have the pitch and amplitude modulated by independent randi generators, set to low frequencies (1
Hz or so - experiment for best results). The amplitude modulation should be only a fraction of the
overall amplitude.
