The clip is credited to the Goofy short Tiger Trouble, released on 5 January 1945, and circulates in sound libraries under a Hollywood Edge collection of flapping, bonks and crash effects. Short theatrical cartoons of that era relied on tightly timed library noises to sell gags that happened too fast for dialogue, and ladder actions were a recurring slapstick setup. Editors still reuse brief effects like this online because they are instantly readable, easy to drop onto a modern cut, and carry the rhythm of classic hand-drawn animation without needing the original scene.
About this sound
A very short ladder sound effect from the 1945 Goofy cartoon Tiger Trouble, with quick opening, climbing and closing clatters for cartoon edits.
This is a blink-and-you-miss-it cartoon ladder effect lasting just a fraction of a second, built from a rapid series of wooden and metallic clatters, flaps and bonks. You hear the ladder swing open, a quick scramble upward and a sharp snap as it closes again, all compressed into one tight burst. Because there is no dialogue or music, the noise reads instantly as slapstick movement even without picture. It gives a cut a feeling of hurried, clumsy action and works like punctuation for a character rushing up, slipping off or making a hasty escape in classic animation style.
