This sound is identified by users as the laser effect from the Rebel Yell guitar track, which links it to Billy Idol's 1983 hit and the distinctive production around that song. Online, the clip is usually treated less like a music sample and more like a standalone retro blaster noise. It keeps showing up in meme edits, fan videos and simple soundboard uploads because the effect is very short, instantly recognizable as sci-fi, and easy to drop onto a visual gag without extra editing.
