This sound comes from Motor Mania, a 1950 Walt Disney cartoon starring Goofy as both a mild-mannered pedestrian and an aggressive driver. In the short, Goofy's split personality behind the wheel turns everyday traffic into a comedy of impatience, and the car itself seems to take on animal behaviour. The barking car moment has survived because it is short, instantly recognisable and easy to lift out of context. Modern creators reuse it for driving jokes, memes and edits where a normal horn would feel too ordinary.
