This sound is associated with Doors, the Roblox horror game released in 2022, where flickering lights act as an important warning sign for nearby threats. Players quickly began recognizing the cue as part of the game's tension-building design, and clips spread through Roblox videos, TikTok edits and reaction compilations. It remains popular because the sound communicates suspense instantly, even out of context, much like a danger alarm sound effect meme used to foreshadow that something bad is about to happen.
