Warner Brothers' body fall. On dirt. Stock "putchka" and man grunting upon fall. Gravelly noise.
These are high-quality copies of Hollywood original optical and mag effects from the 1930s through the '60s, transferred to full-track tape by USC Cinema. I have digitized them for preservation, but they have not all been restored and may have some noise.

Hi! We used this sfx in a weird sci-fi horror short. Thank you for sharing! We credited you in the description of the video. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/KkwccPub7iw

Treg Brown was Warner’s sound guru. One of his great strengths was being able to pick sounds from the live action library that would work perfectly for animation. He was basically in charge of all the dialogue and effects (and picture editing!) for all the cartoons, so he had to work very efficiently. He was brilliant at using the “wrong” (non-literal) sounds for comic effect. He did create countless original effects too, but they tended to be the zany ones.
I suspect this sound came earlier — probably from a ‘30s WB gangster film?

I assume the WB Body Falls SFX was first used in "Dough For The Do-Do" (1949).

Also the other comments are right. These were also all over the later looney tunes cartoons. (I think the 60's-70's ones? a lot of wile e. coyote is in this era)
