Unlike a clip taken from a film or viral video, this car passing sound is a generic field recording of everyday traffic, which is why it has no single famous origin or character attached to it. Its popularity on soundboards comes from that versatility: the same three-second whoosh can sell a city street, punctuate a joke about someone leaving, or bridge two unrelated clips. Because searchers look for it by the plain action it captures, it remains a reliable, instantly understood effect for short-form video, streams and memes.
