Trivia
This very shrill, long whistle is either identical to and/or otherwise known as the CARTOON NETWORK CARTOON FALL SOUND as heard in the "Powerhouse" era bumpers.

The origins of this whistle, claimed to be a "Sky Rocket", are unknown, but the sound debuted in Super Mario World (TV series) 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.
