This kind of scary glitch audio is widely used online as a general-purpose horror effect rather than as a quote or character sound. It appears often in short-form edits, creepypasta clips, analog horror videos and prank posts where creators want a fast corrupted jolt. Its appeal comes from how quickly it signals that something is wrong, using digital distortion to create tension in less than two seconds. Because it is short and versatile, it keeps showing up in meme edits and spooky reaction-style content.
