The honk comes from Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon, where clicking Freddy's nose on the poster in the office triggers the squeak as an Easter egg. Players shared the trick in forums and videos, and it became a beloved in-joke alongside the much louder FNAF jumpscare scream. While the series grew with sequels and fan games, the tiny honk stayed a symbol of its playful side and still appears in streams, memes and edits.
