This brakes squeal sound is mostly associated with Thomas & Friends from Series 1-3.
This sound effect can be found on The International Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas, and was originally a 20th Century Fox sound effect. Since the release of Thomas & Friends, people typically referred it to as the "Thomas & Friends Braking Sound", due to it frequently being used for, and commonly associated with the engines.
