Where can I find this sound?

So, off and on over the past couple years, I've been trying to locate a clean version of a certain sound cue that is used in various tv shows, and lately, many movie trailers. I don't know what it is called, and have spent some time browsing samples from websites that sell files of sound effects/music effects, but have yet to stumble upon it. It is bugging me, since I have heard this sound cue used in productions going back at least a couple of decades.

A very soft, low version of it occurs in this trailer for Maleficent at the 2:00 minute mark. You may have to turn up your speakers quite a bit

And here is a sample I recorded from a show. It is very loud and slightly higher pitched than the Maleficent one. You will want to turn your speakers down for this one

If anyone can help, leave a message!

If you have Sound Track Pro, I'd look in their library. If not, ask someone who does, I'm pretty certain it's in there.

I think it was inspired by the sound that starts at 0:10 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2lPcQSzPU

It sounds like maybe a trumpet playing a high note? The version you posted is obviously synthesized. I'm sure if you had some sort of audio software you could recreate it fairly easily.

Try searching for Horror Cymbal Swell. I found a lot of sound bites that sound similar.
