This sound comes from Counter-Strike 2, Valve's tactical shooter released in 2023 as the successor to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. In the game, it plays when a player presses play from the main menu to search for a match, making it familiar to regular players. It belongs to the same set of recognisable Counter-Strike sounds as the bomb has been planted callout. Creators use short menu sounds like this in gaming videos and memes because they instantly signal a game starting, and its clean click is easy to drop into edits and stream intros.

The play button click from Counter-Strike 2's main menu, a short UI sound used by creators to start a match, introduce gameplay, or punctuate a gaming edit.
The Counter-Strike 2 play button is the brief, clean click that plays when you press play from the game's main menu. It is a short, sharp interface sound with a soft electronic tap and a faint rising tone, lasting just under three seconds in this clip. It does not sound dramatic or musical, which is exactly why it works: it signals that something is about to begin. For viewers, it creates instant recognition for anyone who plays CS2 and a sense of anticipation, like the lobby loading and a match starting, even when it is used over unrelated footage.
