This clip belongs to the broad family of synthetic sci-fi impact effects built for digital editing rather than a single film, game, or show, so it has no one verified origin. Effects like this became common in online sound libraries and meme edits as creators needed short, punchy audio to sell futuristic action without licensing a full soundtrack. Its mix of digital static and a heavy metallic hit makes it easy to reuse across robots, portals, and tech reveals, which is why it keeps appearing in gaming clips, animations, and short-form videos.
