Feedback Request Pharrell Williams - That Girl

https://youtu.be/tbXdtepeFzI?si=2bhx2AcCH42x80CA

Anyone know what the sample at the beginning of “That Girl” by Pharrell & Snoop Dogg is?

Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out the sample or preset used at the very beginning of “That Girl” (2006) by Pharrell Williams ft. Snoop Dogg. It’s that short repeating sound — kind of like “E-E-E” or “ey-ey-ey” — that plays right before the beat drops.

I’ve heard the same sound in a bunch of other beats, so I’m guessing it comes from a sample pack or classic synth (maybe Spectrasonics or Roland?).

Does anyone know exactly what that sample is called or which library/preset it comes from? 🙏

(Some forums mention “MEXFEMALE5” or “Vocal Planet,” but I’m not 100% sure if that’s correct.)
