The origins of this whistle, claimed to be a "Sky Rocket", are to be confirmed, but it might've debuted in Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985). It is the most common falling sound in most media these days; it's occasionally used to accent fireworks launching.
This whistle is most often used by Hacienda Post and Jeff Hutchins. It is usually not used in most Advantage Audio projects, except for those with sound design by Jesse Aruda, Roy Braverman or Rich Danhakl, but previously it was also used in an episode of New Looney Tunes (Robert Duran?) and 2 episodes of Super Mario World (Paca Thomas).

May've been heard once in reverse in "Hole Lotta Trouble".)
