This clip comes from osu!, the rhythm game released for PC in 2007 that became hugely popular online through gameplay videos, livestreams and community-made maps. The fail screen sound is familiar to players because it marks the moment a run ends, especially after a near-clear. Outside the game, creators use it as a compact reaction sound for losing, choking or making a visible mistake. It remains popular because even people who do not play osu! understand its instant fail-screen meaning.
