This might've been a Skywalker Sound sound effect (I TMD the Hedgehog think) that is mostly used in TV shows and movies that involve trains. The library that the sound originates from is unknown, but maybe originally an Thomas & Friends sound effect that debuted in Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000). It was used extensively for when the points switches for trains in Thomas & Friends that was mostly heard throughout the entire seasons 8-12. Later that same year in 2004, Skywalker Sound eventually first used this sound effect for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004).
