Page turning effects have long been used in radio, audiobooks, and video editing because paper makes a clear, wordless cue that something has moved on. Short clips like this one became common on soundboards and in creator libraries as editors needed fast transitions for lessons, comics, manga, and scrapbook videos. Instead of recording paper every time, creators drop in a clean one-second swish that reads instantly, even on mute-adjacent mixes where music is low. It remains popular because the meaning is universal across languages and ages.
