I've never been able to find out for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that the Pal "War of the Worlds" sound was an early 1950's Chrysler product starter-motor. Photon torpedoes are indeed guy wires, and Star Wars used new recordings of the same kind of sound with some creative Ben Burtt audio processing.
Hi Jon and Gang, There were two different SFX used in WOTW-1953.
One does souns like Chrys. starter motor, then followed by that guy-wire
thing .....most of the time. I just played my laserdisc copy to make certain.One of the ST-TNG sound-track CD's included a bunch of SFX from the
series and films. One was the jump to Warp-1 . Impressive ...... JK
