The sound comes from the Paramount Television ident, the short logo sequence shown at the end of programmes made by Paramount's television division. The mountain logo and its orchestral fanfare became a familiar sight on American television through the 1980s and 1990s, closing sitcoms, dramas and syndicated shows. As those programmes were rerun and shared online, the sting took on a second life as a piece of television nostalgia, now reused in edits, parodies and reaction clips to signal a proper ending or a moment of old-school TV grandeur.
