There is no single famous clip behind this teleporter sound, which is why it works so well as a generic effect. Similar rising zaps and shimmering warps have been used in science fiction games, cartoons and online videos for years to mark instant travel, respawns and portal jumps. Because the effect is short, clean and instantly recognisable, creators keep reusing it for gaming montages, reaction edits and short-form videos where a character needs to appear or disappear in a beat without any dialogue to explain it.
