The sound effect I'm talking about sounds like a motorcycle or a horn. It always appears in scenes where there's traffic. It can be found in Burn After Reading when Brad Pitt enters Malkovich's car. Here
. It can also be found in Inside Llewyn Davis when Llewyn sits on a couch, about 35 minutes in. Any other films come to mind, let me know.
No, I'm in Touch with humanity!

The effect might be connected with sound editor Skip Lievsay since it also appears in "After Hours":

Additionally to the films mentioned in above link I noticed it in
The Man Who Wasn't There: when the boy whose hair has just been cut by Ed leaves the barber shop
Intolerable Cruelty: when Miles Massey and his assistant leave Nero's and walk across the parking lot
The Ladykillers: towards the end when Mrs Munson walks to the sheriff's office
