2011X comes from the Sonic.exe creepypasta and fan game community, where a corrupted version of Sonic is reimagined as a horror figure in later retellings and edits. Short effects linked to the character spread through fan animations, horror edits and soundboards because they are instantly recognisable to viewers familiar with the lore. This teleport clip is shared separately from longer gameplay audio so creators can drop the displacement moment into their own cuts. It remains popular in fan made horror content where a brief, unmistakably digital sound signals something unnatural has moved.
