That would just be a Stock Sound Effect- being recognizable as the same sound used in similar situations for multiple works is what defines it as such. (Just noting their existence is sufficient, listing works that use a specific sound clip would be Chairs.)

Now, divorced from a specific sound effect, I could see an acoustic counterpart to Power Glows like "Power Hums" where pulsing sounds and droning hums (and things like their changing pitch and so on) are used as an Editorial Synesthesia for "X is emitting/using/barely containing/etc large amounts of power"
