The sound effect from TOS, and the early TNG episodes is the best. Even when they updated the visual, they should have kept that same sound effect.

The photon torpedo sound used in TOS .. was made by recording a steel wound tension wire hit with another piece of metal , screwdriver, etc.... recorded and then slowed down to a sweet spot. First used in War of the Worlds , it was the sound from the green lit manta wing tips, aka, the skeleton ray .... It was later tweaked for Robinson Caruso on Mars .... After that Star Trek TOS ... ! Then reused again, by this time highly modified , George Lucas still wanted a physical recording of that sound and it appears throughout Star Wars in all kinds of places ...! It's just one of the best sounds to convey a powerful bundled energy blast !!! 😁

Photons peaked for me in the period of the OS movies starting with Wrath of Khan. The photons during that time had that wonderful brighter core surrounded by a strobe effect, and they hit hard. They later became less visually interesting and lost their power. By TNG, they were being fired in salvos that often did little other than reduce the enemy shields by a few percent.

The TOS photon torpedo sound effect was used a lot in the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, as well.

My favorite sound effects for torpedoes are TOS and quantum torpedos.

November or December of 1991 in San Diego, Cali when the ENTERPRISE AND THE EXCELSIOR fired on that bird of prey. The whole audience CHEERED LIKE IT WAS A GAME WINNING NBA finals SHOT.

I don't understand why Paramount did not delay the production of Star Trek V when it became apparent that Bran Ferran's firm was no where near up for the challenge. The film, as originally envisioned by Shatner would have been much better. Even TNG's in house effects would have been better than what was produced. V wold have done better at the box office too with a Christmas 1989 release instead of trying to compete in the greatest Summer season of all time. I have to re-read Shatner's book to see if there is a reason why Paramount simply didn't wait until ILM or another reputable effects house was available.
