Among Us, the social deduction game developed by InnerSloth, lets crewmates call an emergency meeting to discuss who might be the impostor, and the alarm that accompanies that moment became instantly recognisable when the game exploded in popularity in 2020. Streamers and TikTok creators began using the sound outside gameplay to flag suspicious behaviour in everyday situations, turning a simple game cue into a shorthand for calling someone out. It remains popular because almost anyone who has seen the game understands the joke in seconds.
