To commemorate Star Trek's B-day, Google celebrated with an array of unique "star-techie" interactive doodles. When mousing over a particular area of the doodle, you hear all of the inter-galactic sounds such as alarms, door rings, alerts, etc. Below is the doodle posted about 8 hours ago (7 a.m. EDT).
This was done largely because there was a solid audience and many spin-offs were produced which included the likes of Star Trek: The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. Google celebrates Star Trek’s 46th this with a wonderful doodle.
Creator Roddenberry used westerns such as “Wagon Train” as inspiration, along with references of the novel Gulliver's Travels.

The original Star Trek followed the interstellar adventures of James T. Kirk and the crew of an exploration vessel of a 23rd century galactic "United Federation of Planets"—the Starship Enterprise.
The original Star Trek series began production under Desilu Productions. With the merger of Desilu into Paramount Pictures, that studio assumed outright ownership of the Star Trek franchise.
In 2006, rights transferred to CBS when it took Paramount's TV division as part of its split from Paramount owner Viacom.
