This sound is best understood as a generic flashbang or stun grenade style effect rather than a quote from one famous scene. Online, creators use it across meme edits, shooter game clips, prank videos and reaction compilations whenever they want to suggest a blinding blast and temporary ringing ears. Its appeal comes from how quickly it communicates shock and confusion in a very familiar cinematic way. That makes it a durable editing sound, similar in purpose to an MLG air horn or other exaggerated impact effects.
