Meep meep!! I bet everybody knows who makes that sound!!
Of course, it's the roadrunner from the Warner Bros. cartoons who loves burning up the asphalt as he evades Wile E. Coyote or even just because speed is fun! The roadrunner's name is Beep Beep, although it sounds like "Meep meep" when he "speaks."
I just finished a painting of a greater roadrunner (but not the cartoon one), for a collector who is accumulating a series of artworks depicting birds of the Southwestern deserts.

The scientific name is Geococcyx californianus -- "Californian earth-cuckooo". As you might guess, they are in the cuckoo family.
I decided to keep the background very simple so the roadrunner would stand out in bold relief.
