Unless the spell "Flavor Text" gives you and indication of what it looks like or sounds like (Some do like Magic Missiles Description :A missile of magical energy darts forth from your fingertip and strikes its target)then the spell has no real audible or visual component except for hand gestures and words used to cast it.
Now what this allows is players given the GM approval can come up with visual and Audible "Fluff" that while not impacting any part of game but allows the character to personalize the spell.
For instance: A Wizard focusing on Necromancy and the dead may choose to have his missile's appear to be Small skulls that shriek toward their targets or wail as they fly through the air. This is totally legit. Now there is some consequence for this, this sound or visual effect may alert people to casting (so casting a spell with the flavor of loud sound may alert other creatures when if you had normal missile , unless they heard you cast the spell they typically would not have a perception roll to be alerted.)
So with that in mind he could have his Missile's sound like a bazooka going off, or lasers from star wars, heck it could cackle like an old witch, or actually say ZAP ZAP as it flies in air, its really up to the dm. be warned though, if you the dm decide to make spells have these components and force them upon the players, its in bad form to also penalize them by having everything alerted to them because you the DM chose to make it so. If player decides on effect , and it can penalize him, that was his choice, forcing it I feel is just crude.

I just imagine a sweaty overweight half mustached man whispering in my ear like a drill sergeant. "you call that magic missile!"
i am terrified with fear as i wimper yes sir?...
he slaps me in the face and screams "no no no" ...."this is magic missile"
suddenly he jumps on the table whirls his cloak behind him like some award batman and gets very serious and says "as the orcs approach I point my hands and say "i will send you back to hell where you belong greenskinned terror" and yells so loud the whole pizza place reverberates "MAGIC MISSILE THOOM THOOM" for a second i could swear i saw blue streaks fly form his hand.
he turns to me ans says "that is how it is done"
and we sit back down at the table the adventure continues "rognar your sword is covered in orc blood.....
