The sounds still sound off. The ship should have white-noise when flying. The sound it makes when it lines up with the ships and puts the X on the screen sounds too high pitch.
On ours, which is a bootleg, so take everything about sound with a huge grain of salt, there's a constant wind noise (that sounds very convincing) that changes pitch with how high your ship flies (the height indicator on the left). Our Coin sound is quite different though (yours sounds cooler tho). (constant means it's not depending on where in the level you are or what level you're on except of course it's off in attract) Here's an idea for a hack... replace the background with sand (and sea and waves), force fields with volleyball nets, fuel tanks with buckets, grounded enemy planes with dogs, walls with sand castles, rockets with idk frisbees or something and call it... ...Zaxxon the beach (ba-dum tss)
The game's self test menu does have sound port test menu option. The Games background noise sounds off , there are two basic ship in flight sounds ,The (for lack of better words) The cosmic sounding ships flight in space like wind in a cave . and ships flight when inside the complex. basicly a wind like rumble sound.. the real arcade game no emulation , th-cam.com/video/Ta0xVtQ_fnk/w-d-xo.html
Always liked Zaxxon, i was a horrible player though. Great job on the repair!
I spent a many quarter playing this game. Don't recall engine sounds but that was many years ago.
Just checked my Zaxxon, it does have a hollow like changing wind noise as the plane flies along.

I've heard this on original hardware too
