The sound comes from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), where anomalies are people displaced from their home dimensions who violently glitch if they stay too long. The concept is central to Miguel O'Hara and Spider-Man 2099, who leads the Spider-Society to contain them. Clips of the glitch cue spread on TikTok and YouTube edits alongside the Prowler Sound Effect as fans recreated multiverse scenes. Its mix of sci-fi dread and instant recognition keeps it popular for error memes, corrupted footage jokes, and dramatic dimension-hop transitions.
