Apparently this sound effect was made for the movie Distant Drums and is now used constantly in all the Indiana Jones and Star Wars movies(and alot more).

Lol, wow; I had always assumed the actors were the ones screaming, not a recording. Very interesting indeed.

Yeah I actually enjoy hearing it in movies, because it brings me back to good memories of Star Wars.
