Squeaky music clips became a staple of short form meme editing because the sound alone signals that nothing on screen should be taken seriously. Creators pair it with fails, cringe moments and deliberately bad gameplay, where the childish chirping contrasts with what the person is trying to do. The format spread through compilations, Discord soundboards and short video edits, where a few seconds is enough to set the joke. It remains popular because it needs no context, no lyrics and no setup to make a scene feel silly.
