This sound is associated with Foxy from Five Nights at Freddy's, the indie horror game released in 2014. Short jumpscare audio like this became widely shared in FNAF videos, reaction clips and meme edits because it delivers an instant horror cue without needing much setup. It still gets reused in gaming content thanks to the series' lasting online popularity and the recognisable way a FNAF scream immediately signals panic, danger or a sudden loss state. It also sits close to the broader scream meme style used across short-form edits.
About this sound
The sharp Foxy scream from Five Nights at Freddy's, used for jumpscares, horror edits and gaming memes when a sudden scare hits.
This clip is the piercing scream tied to Foxy in Five Nights at Freddy's, a short horror stinger built to jolt the listener instantly. It comes in fast, loud and harsh, with the kind of sudden intensity that feels like a classic jumpscare payoff. Creators use it when a scene cuts from calm to chaos, especially in horror jokes, gaming montages and fake-out scare edits. Even at under two seconds, it creates immediate tension and makes the viewer expect a game over, panic moment or something rushing straight at the screen.
