Claxon cochesito takes its name from Spanish, where claxon means car horn and cochesito means little car, which describes the clip exactly. The sound has circulated on soundboards and in short video edits as a generic funny horn, rather than being tied to a known film or character. Its short length and instantly recognisable squeak made it easy to share, remix and drop into memes about small cars, traffic jams and toy vehicles, and it remains popular because the joke needs no context or language to understand.
