There is no single famous film or viral clip behind this sound, which is why it works as a flexible production effect rather than a recognisable quote. Power outage effects are a staple of sound design because a sudden loss of electricity instantly changes a scene, and the delayed version adds a modern, stylised edge for online video. Creators use it for blackouts, jump scares, pranks and edits where the lights fail at the worst possible moment, and its short length makes it easy to drop into timelines without trimming.
