Slender: The Arrival is a 2013 survival horror game built around the Slenderman creepypasta figure, and its jumpscare pairs a screen full of tearing static with this burst of distorted noise. Early let's-play videos turned the scare into a shared ritual, and the isolated audio soon landed on soundboards where pranksters and editors could trigger it on demand. It endures because the sound is instantly recognisable to horror fans yet works on anyone: five seconds of pure, context-free shock.
