The "thunder" sound effect at the beginning of the opening credits is actually the sound of a tape-echo unit (a type of recording studio equipment) feeding back on itself. If you listen carefully you can hear the "boom" repeating over and over at a rate of about twice per second. The "shimmering" sound effect as the series title materializes from the castle window is produced by the same method, but at a higher pitch/speed.
