The Wither was added to Minecraft in the 1.4.2 Pretty Scary Update in 2012 as a player-summoned flying boss, built from soul sand and wither skeleton skulls. Like other mobs, it has a small set of ambient idle sounds that play while it hovers, separate from its louder attacks, hurt sounds and death explosion. Clips like Idle 4 circulate on soundboards as isolated effects, letting creators reuse the familiar in-game cue in videos, streams, maps and fan animations without recording a full boss encounter themselves.
