Page-turning sounds are a staple of online soundboards because they are instantly recognisable and work in almost any kind of short video. Creators use this brief flip to mark a change of topic, reveal a written answer or mimic the feeling of studying, reading or researching, without needing any dialogue. Its short length makes it especially useful for fast edits on social media, where a longer paper sound would drag. As a clean, standalone effect, it has stayed popular simply because it does one small job very well.
