This clip comes from the sound bank of a Yamaha PSR series keyboard, a line of portable electronic keyboards known for its built-in synth effects and demo sounds. On soundboards it has circulated as a short deejay laser beam effect, picked up by editors searching for a GTA-style laser beam for gaming montages and meme edits. Its appeal is practical rather than nostalgic: at just over a second long, it is easy to drop into a cut, instantly reads as a laser shot, and works without needing any context from a film or show.
