The sound comes from Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon where animatronics jumpscare the night guard at the end of a failed night. The scream became one of the most recognisable audio cues on YouTube as Let's Players reacted to it, and fans ripped countless variants like this one onto soundboards. The related FNAF Jumpscare Scream clip is the best known version. Editors still use it because the noise instantly signals a FNAF-style scare, even for viewers who never played the game.
