I think I may have figured this out, actually!
These unused sounds and city numbers are from the original Globetrotter!
Both games were released within 9 months of each other (the original was released in 2000 and the sequel in 2001), so perhaps they shared the same database for city data, since both games appear to run on the same setup.
The city data for the original Globetrotter only goes up to 40, which explains the blank space between values 40 and 50 in Globetrotter 2's data, as well as why values 50 - 70 are all new locations.
These unused sound files?
They're leftover data from the original game! The sequel was built within the original game's files, most likely, so they updated the files for the cities returning from the original, yet curiously left behind the "trivia correct" sound effects from the cities that were not reused.
What a find!
