I have a sinking feeling under some further investigation that it may be! I am pretty sure that I've heard it in a few places, one of which being the Disney movie Up. I'm not sure how to describe it, it is a sensorially very unique and pleasant experience for me hearing it. Here's one example, starting roughly around 7-8 seconds or so: https://youtu.be/ah7I6jr-gKQ?feature=shared https://youtu.be/ah7I6jr-gKQ?feature=shared I listened to some older zeppelin/dirigible recordings based on your comment and they seem to make a rather nice, but also not as-euphoric fan whine. Noooooo, that is quite disappointing! I think there's one game that had an extremely highly punctuated, very clockwork-like soundtrack in one of its worlds that used the dirigible-whip sound as a base layer for one of its themes whenever you were in that part of the world. I'll see if I can find it. Curious that it shows up in a few places, there _has_ to be able origin for why people who are designers associate it with airships. It likely wouldn't just occur by chance....
