This sound is associated with Granny, the horror game released by DVloper in 2017. The game became widely known on mobile and through streamer reactions, and its jumpscare audio turned into a recognizable cue for sudden danger. Online, people use it beyond the original game in horror compilations, bait-and-switch edits, and scream-cut memes. It stays popular because the sound is short, instantly readable as a scare trigger, and easy to drop into videos that need the same kind of shock as a FNAF Jumpscare Scream.
