Angry Birds was developed by Rovio and first released for mobile devices in 2009, becoming one of the most downloaded games of its era. The slingshot launch became its signature mechanic, with players pulling back a bird and releasing it to knock down structures and defeat pigs. As gameplay clips, memes and short-form edits spread online, the short launch sound became shorthand for any comic throw or launch, even for viewers who never played the game. Its brevity and instant recognition keep it useful in fast-paced edits today.

The quick slingshot launch sound from Angry Birds, with a sharp whoosh as the bird flies. Creators use it for launches, throws and comic fails in short videos.
This is the brief launch sound heard when a bird is fired from the slingshot in Angry Birds. It opens with a taut, elastic snap and then rushes into a fast, airy whoosh that follows the bird through the air, ending just as suddenly as it began. At under a second long, it feels snappy and playful rather than dramatic, giving a throw, jump or sudden move an instant sense of momentum. In a video it works as a tiny punctuation mark, turning an ordinary action into something cartoonish and satisfying, and it is instantly familiar to anyone who played the mobile game.
