The sound comes from Evil Nun, a first-person mobile horror game where players try to escape a school guarded by a demonic nun, and jumpscares punctuate failed hiding spots and surprise encounters. Short, loud scare sounds like this spread through gaming videos, edits and soundboards because they are instantly recognisable and easy to drop into any clip. It is often grouped with the FNAF Jumpscare Scream by creators building horror compilations, as both rely on a sudden scream to deliver the fright rather than a long build-up.
