Chimpanzee calls have become a familiar shortcut online for chaos, excitement and over the top reactions, and this short clip is used in that same meme style. Its rapid hoots are easy to recognise even without a picture, so editors drop it over people, pets and game characters acting wildly. The sound has spread through soundboards and short video edits where animal noises stand in for screaming or panicking. Because it needs no context or dialogue, it keeps working across reaction videos, streams and joke edits.
