This effect comes from the Super Mario game series and is best known as the sound tied to entering a pipe. Over time, short uploads and gaming edits made it a standalone reaction sound, especially in meme videos where someone vanishes, switches locations or drops into a new scene. It remains popular because the audio is instantly recognizable even out of context, and its very short length makes it easy to place precisely on a visual transition without covering dialogue or other key sounds.
