This sound is credited to the Donald Duck cartoon Donald Duck and the Gorilla, released on March 31, 1944. The short is a classic Walt Disney Donald Duck cartoon where Donald and his nephews face an escaped gorilla, built around chase gags and exaggerated cartoon effects. Short animal noises like this hiccup and bubble pop were typical of that era's hand timed sound design. Online, editors lifted the moment as a standalone effect, and it now circulates on soundboards as a short reaction for silly, deflated or surprised scenes.
