Revision as of 23:58, 28 January 2022

This sound effect can be found on Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. It shouldn't be confused with the Anime Zip Sound, or the second whistle from COMEDY, ACCENT - SIREN TYPE WHISTLE, SEVERAL (a Warner Bros. sound effect). Debuted in 1958 with The Huckleberry Hound Show.

Info

  • First recorded: 1958
  • Creator: Greg Watson
  • Owner: Hanna-Barbera (1958-2001), Sound Ideas (1993-present)
  • Origin: Los Angeles, California
  • Recording location: Hanna-Barbera Productions
  • Year debut: September 30, 1958
  • First heard: The Huckleberry Hound Show (in the intro)
  • Area used: Worldwide

Back in 1958, this sound was first recorded by Greg Watson at Hanna-Barbera Productions in Los Angeles, California and it was made from a siren whistle.

This is one of Hanna-Barbera’s most prolific sound effects and was mainly used for whenever someone would throw a bowling ball or a lasso, or even a rabbit during a magic show. It made its debut on September 30, 1958 with The Huckleberry Hound Show and would be used in most of their cartoons, before the sound made its way to other studios, mainly Disney and Warner Bros..

This is one of the most commonly used zip whistle sound effects in media and more than 500 TV shows, films, video games, anime, and others make use of this sound, and there's a 99% chance you've possibly heard this sound before. It’s still being used as of today; some recent media, such as the recent Super Mario games and some recent western shows, are very fond of using it. Even the Nostalgia Critic criticized it's use of it, when reviewing A Christmas Story 2 (2012).

It should be noted that there's an equivalent of a Jay Ward sound effect called R-B ZIP, CARTOON - BIG WHISTLE ZING OUT, which was not featured on Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends Sound Effects Library, and Walter Lantz sound effect heard in the Andy Panda cartoon "Dizzy Kitty" and the Woody Woodpecker cartoon "The Beach Nut" that sounds nearly identical to this. Don't get that confused for this.
