The closest I can think of are
- gradual increase in volume and
- playing with panning to start from left or right and gradually moves towards you
center(i think you might need to physically place the output speaker so the left or right its playing from is farthest away from you)
Feel instinctually like reverb might have some application here but i know almost nothing about it
Also, closer sounds tend to have more prominent transients, so you can use a transient shaper and automate the attack (if you’re working with something that’s not a sustained tone, that is).
