This is a rare sound effect that is not on the Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library, from Sound Ideas. The meeps were performed by veteran background artist for the Warner Bros. studio, Paul Julian. One of these sounds shouldn't be confused with HERBIE HORNS though.
The original Paul Julian Road Runner vocal archive has not yet been released to the public. However, part of it can be found in the video game, Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports and in some webtoons and webgames.
