Flappy Bird was a simple mobile game released in 2013 that became a worldwide viral hit in early 2014, built around tapping to keep a small bird flying between pipes. Its short flap noise became inseparable from that loop, because every tap produced the same sound and every failed run meant hearing it again. After the game was withdrawn from app stores, clips and memes kept its audio alive, and creators still use the flap today as shorthand for a frantic, repetitive jump in gaming edits and short-form videos.
