I used to hear Magic Carpet sounds in TV shows and movies quite often once. Not anymore though.

Yes - the speeding "whoosh" sound reminds me of it every time: https://youtu.be/m3zsPl4Ampw?t=607 https://youtu.be/m3zsPl4Ampw?t=607

  Yes. That was it! I always wondered how that happened. No copyright?

    There were sound effect samplers that went around on CD back in those days. Presumably purchasing the CD came with a license to use the effects in your projects. There was also a wind noise sound that found its way into many different game and motion picture productions that I always instantly recognized.

      I remember the pig noise (farm?) from Warcraft 2 would crop up in all sorts of random places

    There are various sound effects libraries that offer premade effects clearable with simple terms. So it’s simply different teams taking the same sound off a library CD / website.

    The life of sound effects is a strange thing, with its own semi-commercial ecosystem. Read about The Wilheim Scream (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_scream) for a glimpse into how they move from one production to another.

The essential subliminal concept of Magic Carpet is that you're a dog running around peeing on things to possess them, again and again as your pee smell fades. That's why it's so great! It taps into and satisfies deeply seated behavior in your dog brain.
