Laser like sounds

What the hell are those laser like sounds from the keyboards towards the end of "Speed of Sound"?

Is that supposed to be an approximation of the speed of sound or breaking through the sound barrier?

O'Brien is killing me on this album....

    I live in Southern California and whenever they land the Space Shuttle at Edwards, we get the double sonic boom. *BOOM**BOOM*. So maybe the kickdrum from Supersonic is more like it. The tingling in Speed of Sound is the sound of the chards of glass falling on the floor after the sonic boom broke the window.
    Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river

    I am gearing up for another NYC winter!

    I'm not sure whether it's necessarily supposed to sound like anything or whether they just thought it would be cool. I'm not really a fan of the way they put this one together on the album. I much preferred Ed's demo version. But by the time they get to the synthesizers I don't really mind them.
