This sound is widely recognized as the Pokeball opening effect from the Pokémon franchise, especially from game and anime scenes where a Pokémon is sent out. Online, it became a handy audio cue for edits that mimic summoning, deploying or unveiling something with a nostalgic game feel. Its staying power comes from how brief and unmistakable it is: even outside Pokémon-specific content, viewers immediately understand that something is about to appear, which makes it useful for comedy reveals and gaming clips.
