Image Example of a Winch for the Sound.
This is a Skywalker Sound sound effect. It was created by Gary Rydstrom, and it debuted in James and the Giant Peach (1996). It should not be confused with the similar sounding H-B WINCH - WINCH PULLEY CRANKING and one of the takes of SKYWALKER, TRAIN - CONTROL LEVERS BEING ENGAGED.
