The sound is identified with Hawaiian Holiday, the Mickey Mouse cartoon released on 24 September 1937, and it later circulated as a Hollywood Edge library effect under the title Single Engine Prop Plane Dives. In the cartoon era, small propeller aircraft were a handy visual gag, and a short diving engine noise could sell speed and panic without dialogue. As cartoon sound libraries moved into editing software and online soundboards, the same brief flyby became a reusable shorthand for a fall, a swooping exit, or a doomed stunt, which is why it still appears in short comedy edits today.
