This is an example of a sound that was used again after, "Alien" (1979). The original audio track was created for the corridors of the Nostromo by sound editor, Jim Shields... Here's a link to my extended mix of the soundscape:    • Alien (1979) - Nostromo Ambient Sound...   --- (More Info Below):

Note: This scene from "Blade Runner" has been edited with the audio mixed at (0:17) to highlight only the sound effect.

Also, here's interesting info (according to Theo Green) about Jimmy Shields involvement with musician Vangelis, and his uncredited sound design on the original "Blade Runner":
