The word Flughafen is German for airport, which is how this clip is titled on soundboards. The chime itself is part of the standard public address routine in terminals worldwide, played to get passengers attention before flight information is read out. Online, creators separated the gong from any actual announcement and reused it as a standalone cue. That separation is why it works in memes, travel edits and school projects, where a single ding signals that an important, often deliberately trivial, message is about to follow.
