I agree with both of you. FYI, years back, I recall reading the rocket ship sounds were, at noisy take off, perhaps firecrackers sounding off, while the humming, buzzing sounds were from an apparently early Schick electric razor.

Interestingly, all FG/BR rocket ships sounded alike (but, the Mars stratosleds often sounded different, more rocket power like). Audiences of the time though were familiar with piston sounding motors, hence perhaps were considered more desirable for frequent use in the serials. Or, maybe just easy to use by sound dept.

As for those sparkling gizmos in the various labs, I imagine tesla coils and the like with explosive like sounds were utilized. Great sound effects for early material. Some goofs were evident here and there, but we can let 'em slide.
