Thats probably it - but if it had been quieter it wouldnt have been heard at all or rather it would have sounded like a distant bee . The thing is when an insect flies really close to your ear its a really loud almost a physical sensation .I was trying to get that effect when I fly or mosquito flies really close to your ear and you brush it away. I would be difficult to get those sort of pressure levels any quieter from a loudspeaker on the other side of the path - Under the circumstances I was prepared to accept a one foot fly but to be realistic its not going to sound anything like real life without WFS or something similar (Im all for the "training a fly" solution myself) .
