I am practicing subtitling a clip for the deaf and hard of hearing and I am struggling to find the right words to describe a sound effect.
The context is a car that is in a future dystopian type world and when it stops it makes a futuristic sort of hydraulic/robotic noise. The appearance of the car does not immediately indicate that the scene is set in the future.
Is anyone able to offer their thoughts? Any help is appreciated!

Future or past doesn't matter, just describe the sound.
Or you can look for HI notations from futuristic movies like the Terminator.
