Quote = Wikipedia, Millennium Falcon:

The sound of the ship traveling through hyperspace comes from two tracks of the engine noise of a McDonnell Douglas DC-9, with one track slightly out of synchronization with the other to introduce a phasing effect.[5] To this, sound designer Ben Burtt added the hum of the cooling fans on the motion-control rig at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).[5]

It has been noted that the cockpit with its iconic greenhouse-style window was likely inspired by the cockpit of the American B-29 Superfortress.[6][7][8]
