First recorded in the 1950s, this sound effect was made from a Jew's harp.

It was mainly used for when someone bounces around or an object bounces like a ball, generally used for a comedic effect, but can oddly enough be used as a hit sound as well. It was originally a Major Records/Valentino sound effect.

Its earliest known usage is in "Outcast Marbles", a Gumby episode from 1956, and later would find its way into the TV Spots library, first used in the Popeye cartoon "When There's a Will" in 1960. It would later find its way into Hanna-Barbera's sound library, and its earliest usage by them was The Ruff and Reddy Show episode "Rumble in the Jungle", first broadcast on December 27, 1958, and would be used in some of their cartoons (like The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The Huckleberry Hound Show, Wacky Races and The New Scooby-Doo Movies.), before the sound made its way to other studios like Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios. It is often used in modern media today, especially in shows like The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!, Arthur, Dragon Tales, Blue's Clues and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

This sound was originally part of COMEDY - MONTAGE OF VARIOUS COMEDY EFFECTS 01, as heard on the Universal Studios Sound Effects Library. A looped version of this sound effect can be found on Classic TV Sound Effects Library, called COMEDY, BOUNCE - CONTINUOUS SPRINGING BOUNCE. There are also a high pitched version of this sound called HOYT'S LITTLE BOING and a very high pitched one called LITTLE BOING, which cannot be found on the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.
