This is a rare sound effect (likely created by MGM) that was used mostly in the MGM cartoons from 1938-1946. It debuted in the Captain And The Kids cartoon "The Winning Ticket". It may be a prototype of the Famous Studios Cartoon Fall Sound, although it shouldn't be confused with the Warner Bros./Famous Studios variants of that sound effect.
