No confirmed source exists for this particular recording beyond its label as an AI-made sigh with added bass. Bass-boosted edits of everyday sounds became a staple of meme soundboards and short-form video in the late 2010s and early 2020s, where the exaggerated low end turns a small noise into a punchline. Sigh clips in this style circulate as quick reaction buttons for disappointment, secondhand embarrassment and dramatic resignation, and the format persists because the effect is instantly readable even at very short lengths.
