This effect comes from the Chess.com game interface, where audio cues help players follow important events on the board. It became recognizable beyond regular gameplay through screen recordings, chess lessons, short tactical clips, and memes built around dramatic move commentary. The sound is especially useful in edits featuring the line about White sacrificing the queen, since its brevity emphasizes the resulting check without delaying the sequence. It remains familiar because viewers can identify the game event almost immediately.
