The clip comes from the Hollywood Edge library and is heard in the Goofy cartoon Foul Hunting, released on October 31, 1947. It was recorded as a bulb horn effect, the kind squeezed by hand for a short comic honk, and it became part of the classic Disney cartoon sound vocabulary. As those cartoons circulated in reruns and online clips, editors kept reusing the honk for parodies and meme edits, where its vintage, squeaky tone instantly marks a moment as old-school slapstick rather than a real vehicle sound.
