The sound comes from Team Fortress 2, the Valve shooter released in 2007, where the Heavy can eat a Sandvich to restore health. The om nom nom lines were added with the Sandvich as his exaggerated eating vocalisation, performed by voice actor Gary Schwartz. Clips of the moment spread through YouTube poops, Garry's Mod videos, and gaming edits in the late 2000s and early 2010s, becoming shorthand for loud, happy eating. It remains popular because the delivery is recognisable even without the game footage.

The Heavy Om Nom Nom sound effect from Team Fortress 2, featuring the character loudly eating a Sandvich. Creators use it for eating moments in gaming edits
This is the Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2 enthusiastically devouring his Sandvich, chanting om nom nom with deep, exaggerated chewing sounds between each bite. His booming Russian-accented voice turns a simple snack into a full performance, with loud smacks and satisfied gulps that make the eating feel oversized and cartoonish. The clip is instantly funny because the toughest character on the battlefield is completely focused on his food. It lands as pure comedy, making any normal eating scene feel dramatic, greedy, and absurdly joyful.
