LOSS
It is during this period that Grocery Game losses are alternated between the two buzzers (since roughly 1986 or '87), and it may have been this playing that establishes MRRRRRRRRP! as the permanent losing sound; it is definitely in use by 1995. However, a handful of playings (including early on in the Drew Carey era) have BUZZ! sounded, which has been in place since 1972.
