The sound effect is made by a doctored song of a kookaburra; it's edited to be high pitched and sped up.
Originally a Soundelux sound effect; it debuted in the 1963 film, Flipper.
In 1990, The Hollywood Edge added it to The Premiere Edition Volume 1 library. In 2014, after the bankruptcy of The Hollywood Edge, Sound Ideas took over to acquire it.
Today, it's heard in more than hundreds of media, it's often commonly used as a censor sound effect since 2001 due to SpongeBob using it out of context.
