This sound is associated with Granny, the horror game series where the player avoids a hostile old woman inside a house. The line became popular in gameplay clips, mobile horror compilations and short-form edits because it instantly signals that the player has been detected. Its usefulness comes from the phrase being simple, recognizable and easy to drop onto fail moments or suspenseful reveals. That has kept it circulating in horror memes and reaction-style videos well beyond a single playthrough trend.
