CARTOON NETWORK CARTOON FALL SOUND

This very shrill, long whistle is either identical to and/or otherwise known as the Hollywoodedge, Sky Rocket Loud High TE021701 which can be found on The Edge Edition Volume 1, which was made by The Hollywood Edge, and Sound Ideas, FIREWORKS - SMALL FIREWORK LAUNCHED, WHISTLE 01 from the Series 6000 Extension I Sound Effects Library.

The origins of this whistle are unknown, but the sound debuted in either Disney's The Prince and the Pauper (1990) (sound designer & services TBA) and/or the Super Mario World episode "A Little Learning" (Advantage Audio, Paca Thomas). It is the most common falling sound in most media these days, and used often by Hacienda Post and Jeff Hutchins. In other media, it usually accents the fuses of launching fireworks.
