The background sound heard on the original Star Trek series, you know like “waush -waush” that I assume is some background noise the Enterprise makes.
I hear this all day everyday and it is driving me nuts, Trinidad is location if it matters.
Maybe you could type it “whoo- whoo”?
Is it the sound of the opening and closing of the elevator doors that you mean?
Maybe you could narrow it down a wee bit?

The first couple of sites have a zillion sounds. I’d search (I’m in a sound downloading mood right now), but my headphones are dying so they’ll need a recharge.
From this site:
Here’s the view screen “ping” like a Star Trek version of a radar.
This has the lift doors at the very beginning.
Whoops – headphones died again.
Indeed. Does this bird live in Tierra del Fuego, the Sahara or Cambodia. Even narrowing it own to a single continent would help.Out of a zillion sound effects and a zillion possible birds there is no way this question has a factual answer.
The OP specified Trinidad.
Assuming it’s not just a coincidence, I think the likelier path is some sound engineer heard a bird call and duplicated it as a sound effect. So it’s Star Trek that sounds like a bird not a bird that sounds like Star Trek.
Missed that. :o

Saw that, too. I meant narrowing down the Star Trek sound, since I’m not up to date on Trinidadian bird songs. That’s why I gave him the homework assignment.
Looking up Trinidad bird sounds got me a bird that sounds like Captain Kirk sitting on a Tribble.
This one sounds like a bullfinch, with a rooster in the background. 
Blue jays can make many different sounds. They are mimics. One of their common calls, other than imitating a hawk, sounds like a tropical jungle call.
I have spent some time trying to find the sound in ST, but it corresponds to no action on screen it is like a background engine noise in scenes.
Like bloosh bloosh…bloosh bloosh bloosh.
A very tech sound, it took me a while to realize I was hearing a bird and not someone’s smart phone with the ST sound programmed for email arrival years ago.
Could it be a frog? You might want to PM Colibri, who knows these things.
Can you see this YouTube clip from Trinidad? Star Trek: TOS USS-Enterprise Bridge Background Ambience.
If you find the sound, you can use the “share” option to re-post the video right at the time you hear the sound so we know which one you’re talking about.
