As a German insult, the phrase translates roughly to shut your fucking mouth, with Schnauze adding a coarse, animal-like edge that makes it sound harsher than a plain shut up. Short clips like this circulate online as reaction sounds because they are instantly understood even by listeners who do not speak German, thanks to the aggressive tone and delivery. Creators reuse it to punctuate arguments, roast friends and interrupt long-winded speakers, and its under-a-second length makes it easy to drop into edits, streams and chat replies without breaking the flow.
