The nose honk originated in Five Nights at Freddy's, the indie horror game released by Scott Cawthon in 2014. In the first game, clicking Freddy Fazbear's nose on the poster in the security office triggers a hidden honk, a tradition that returned in later entries and became one of the series' best-known Easter eggs. As FNAF grew through YouTube playthroughs and fan communities, the sound was clipped and shared on its own, turning a tiny secret interaction into a recognisable in-joke among players.
