The sound is credited in its file metadata to Dexter Manning's Phoenix Wright Bullshit Evolved Episode 3, a fan-made parody take on the Phoenix Wright courtroom series. As a standalone clip, it has circulated on soundboards as a compact reaction sound, where its very short length makes it easy to drop into edits without trimming. Its staying power comes from that versatility: the same snort can read as sarcasm, contempt or amused disbelief depending on the scene it follows, so creators keep returning to it for quick, wordless commentary.
