This sound is associated with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the life sim released for Nintendo Switch in 2020. Short UI sounds from the game spread widely in clips because they are clean, friendly and instantly readable even outside gameplay. The catch sound in particular is reused to signal a successful grab, pickup or tiny achievement. Its staying power comes from how recognizable Animal Crossing is online and how easily the effect fits wholesome edits, stream highlights and low-stakes joke posts.
