They let you know that viewscreen works?  Possibly they draw your attention to
the viewscreen, similar to the strobes on various airport runways?

Reminds me of the computer sound effects.  How many other shows have you heard
the same sound effects?  I haven't heard any pneumatic doors but I did hear
the poiiing of the transporter one morning on the Roadrunner.  Wile E. Coyote
had just hit a rubber band.  I expected him to be beamed onto an animated
transporter room...
