The sound comes from Donald's Tire Trouble, a Donald Duck cartoon released in 1943, where everyday objects and mishaps were given exaggerated animated noises to match the slapstick on screen. As classic cartoon sound effects were collected and shared online, this short plastic stretch became a handy piece of vintage audio for editors who wanted an instantly recognisable rubbery squeak without recording one themselves. It remains useful because its old cartoon character and clear rising tension still read immediately, even in a very short clip.
