Silent Hill 2 is a survival horror game first released by Konami in 2001, later remade in 2024, and its menu sounds have become recognisable shorthand for its unsettling tone. The confirm sound is the small audio cue heard when a player accepts a selection in the game's menus, rather than a line of dialogue or a piece of music. As gameplay clips and horror edits circulated online, creators began lifting the cue on its own, using it as a quick, moody alternative to brighter video game confirmation sounds.
