The Cloaker sound is best known from Payday 2, where the fast, aggressive special enemy became memorable for surprising players and dropping them quickly. Online, the audio spread through gaming edits, meme compilations and short videos as a shorthand for instant danger. Its popularity comes from how recognizable it is to players and how well it functions like a jumpscare cue even outside the game. It is often used alongside clips that already have a similar panic energy to a FNAF Jumpscare Scream.
