This's a Skywalker Sound sound effect, probably designed by Gary Rydstrom as it debuted in Baby's Day Out (1994).
It is very similar to Sound Ideas, WHINE, CARTOON - SHELL SCREAMING WHINE DOWN and sounds like a shorter version of that whistle, but it is NOT to be confused with the MGM sound, as this is an original recording.
Used in
Movies
- Baby's Day Out (1994) (debut?) (Heard as Veeko falls from the construction building after launched over a construction elevator)

Audio Samples
So far, I BigIdeas70258 heard this in only 2 Skywalker projects. "Hoodwinked!" has a cleaner version of the whistle, but the original version in "Baby's Day Out" should be sampled as well.
