Leonard Nimoy provided the low "wub-wub-wub-wub" sound that the cigar-shaped alien probe makes while flying through space. Sound effects editor Mark A. Mangini had come up with several possible sound effects for the probe, none of which Nimoy liked. Finally, Mangini asked "Well, what do *you* think the alien probe should sound like?" Nimoy thought for a moment, then did a vocal impression of the sound he thought the alien probe should make. Mangini said "Okay, let's use that." Nimoy stepped into the recording booth, and did a two-minute voice recording of the "wub-wub-wub-wub" sound. Mangini took this recording of Nimoy's voice and mixed it with electronic feedback and whale songs to make the alien probe sound.
