Metallic filtered droning sound

Hi all

Can anyone tell me where this particular sound is from - either how to generate it or where it originally came from. It's a metallic sound, single pitch, high in pitch (around 800Hz-2kHz) with a low pass filter over it, opening then closing, possibly timestretched to give a metallic sound, and (apologies for the synaesthetics!) it gives a sound I can only describe as feeling like a 'heat haze'. I first heard it in BT's Flaming June back in 1996 but it keeps cropping up in dance tracks and this evening it was used as a background texture in the ITV Drama 'Messiah'. In that context it sounds chilling. I've tried to create it myself but never quite get it. Any ideas?

If you've got a copy of BT's flaming June, the sound pops in behind the 303 bassline. and in other places during the track.

Also if anyone's got the Donnie Darko soundtrack, a similar sound is used a lot on 'Manipulated Living'.

Sorry the description's not great!

I don'y know what is the type of metaluic sound because i can dowload it, but i create some quite nice metalic sounds on Albino2 and Cube VST. Albino preset names Synth basses / RawSy bass, You have to change it a little bit. I always want to create metalic sounds like in Ronski Speed - E.O.S. The're amazing. Maybe anyone know how to create them (SAMPLE
