    What the first guy said is right but they can also apply sound filters to distort or they can apply an EQ flanger or a DJ flanger filter to make the sound.
    "Some sounds, like the lightsaber -- fashioned from an old movie projector motor hum and a TV picture tube buzz -- came immediately to mind when I first read the script for Star Wars and saw the concept artwork." - Ben Burtt, Sound Expert
