How to replicate this "Apple Homepod" commercial effect

Question

Hey, I have a client that wants their logo/text done similar to this: HomePod — Distortion — Apple - YouTube It seems to be done with Trapcode Form, but I can't somehow get that liquid/wobbly distortion look 😕😕 I've gone as far as getting the logo all setup in a Box - Grid, even have an audio file to react to but none of the parameters I play with seem to come close to the commercial effect. Is there a better way to do this?

Oh I agree it's a cheap intern job, the hard part on my end is figuring out what they used. I actually found how they did this and answered my own question haha: Under the Fractal Field --> Displace, separate the XYZ individually

Not sure what you are having issues with. This simply seems to use the spherical field (with a negative force) a lot in addition to turbulence plus possibly simple transforms, all with heavily animated values for strengths and ranges. Otherwise one could of course go out of one's way to create custom displacement maps, but I really don't think it's necessary. By Apple's own strict standards this looks like a cheap 5 minute intern job, not a professional ad...
