This sound is a general vehicle skid effect rather than a quote tied to one famous character or scene. It has long been used in movies, games, radio bits and online edits to signal braking, danger or a sharp interruption. On short-form platforms, creators often use tire screech audio as a comedic cue when a joke pivots suddenly or someone gets metaphorically stopped in their tracks. Its staying power comes from how instantly recognizable the sound is, even in very short clips.
