This sound effect can be found on Universe of Sounds, which was made by OMI. There are two versions of this effect, the normal version and a low-pitched version that's used often by Joel Valentine, Jeff Hutchins and the Advantage Audio sound company.
Productions by Nelvana mix this with a shortened TAKE, CARTOON - TUBE TAKE in a high pitch, making the Nelvana Confused Sound.
