I had two original Transrocs.
The first one was the kit you soldered together. I didn't have much experience with soldering and never got it to work.

The second was the assembled version.
I used the Midland walkie talkie sold by Estes to hear the beeps.
I added theTransroc microphone kit to "hear" what was going on inside the rocket.
It wasn't very impressive. You heard the hiss of the engine, some wind noise and the ejection charge.
Pretty much the same sounds you heard from the ground without the walkie talkie!
