a The tuning fork velocity as a function of the applied force on the left axis and the rate of detected events by the beam on the right axis. The blue circles correspond to the tuning fork force-velocity dependence, while the symbols on the right show the beam detection rate at various fork forces. The dotted blue line corresponds to the onset of turbulence production by the tuning fork. b A probability density function of the wait time between events tδα at the same fork velocities. The solid lines correspond to exponential fits, of the form \(\propto \exp (-t/\tau )\). Note symbol colour matching between panels a and b, black points in panel a represent data from other runs not used for panel b. For details, see text.
