Recorded by Jimmy MacDonald in 1938, this sound effect was made from a siren whistle.

It was originally a Disney sound effect that first debuted in the Donald Duck cartoon "Donald's Nephews" in April 15, 1938. This short used this sound in a double high pitch, but later Disney cartoons and animated films (starting with the animated music film, Pinocchio on February 23, 1940) used it in a normal pitch onwards. Since then, Disney used it as one of their trademark whistle zips in their cartoons and movies.

Starting in the mid 1950s, other studios like Warner Bros., DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and Filmation would later use the sound in their cartoons. It is also been used by Hanna-Barbera in a couple of their shows from the 1980s, specifically the 1984 show The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries. The episodes it was heard in are "A Night Louse at the White House", "The Dooby Dooby Doo' Ado" and "The Nutcracker Scoob". The Hollywood Edge would later add it to the first Cartoon Trax sound effect library in 1992. Then in 2014, Sound Ideas took over to acquire this whistle zip sounds after the bankruptcy of The Hollywood Edge.

A reversed variation of this sound called ZIP, CARTOON - QUICK WHISTLE STREAK ZIP IN, while the same sound effect of this sound called QUICK WHISTLE STREAK ZIP OUT exists and it is both considered a Hanna-Barbera sound effect, but was not available in the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library or in Cartoon Trax Volume 1.

This is one of the common Cartoon Trax/Disney whistle zip sounds that is commonly used in media today, along with other Disney whistle zip sounds from the library.
