WHAT THE FUTURE SOUNDED LIKE ON TV IN THE 60s

Our week of weird audio comes to an appropriate close with a deeply strange collection of sci-fi special effects sounds that were used for shows like ‘Lost In Space’, ‘The Twilight Zone’, ‘Land Of The Lost’, ‘Outer Limits’,. ‘The Twilight Zone’…you get the idea. The big question I have here is: how the hell did they create these sounds? This is pre-synthesizer and I’m not aware of any early computer hardware (was it even called that back then?) that could produce these wonderfully strange sonic arias. This stuff may well pre-date those 60s shows and turn up in 1950s Sci-Fi bottom of the bill potboilers. Alas, I’ve never developed an interest in movies of that genre so I couldn’t tell you. Notice that the person who posted this says that it comes from the Hanna-Barbera sound effects library. Does this mean this stuff found its way to ‘The Flinstones?’
