Taz Spin

TAZ SPIN is the sound of an inertia starter from the Warner Bros. sound library.

Info
The sound was first used in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons since the 1930's, and were used as its trademark for anything spinning or for a machine running. The sound was also used in some of WB's live-action movies. It was later used as Taz' trademark tornado sound since "Bedeviled Rabbit" in 1957. Some studios would later use the sound in their animated and live-action projects like DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, Chuck Jones Enterprises, Walt Disney Television Animation, and many more.
