This sound is associated with teleporting in Genshin Impact, the open-world action RPG released by HoYoverse in 2020. Players recognize it from using Teleport Waypoints and other fast travel moments in the game. Outside gameplay, the effect spread through short-form edits, meme compilations and fan videos because it clearly signals instant movement without needing extra context. It is still popular since the game remains widely played and the sound is clean enough to drop into quick transitions, vanish jokes and fantasy-themed edits.
