Fluke noises come from Hollow Knight, the 2017 action-adventure game by Team Cherry, where Flukes are small, parasitic creatures found in the Royal Waterways beneath Hallownest. Their distinctive squelching sounds became familiar to players exploring that damp, hidden area and hunting the Flukemarm boss. The clip has since circulated among fans as a short, shareable game sound, often reused in edits, streams and meme videos because it instantly signals something slimy, weird and unmistakably from Hallownest without needing any dialogue or explanation.
About this sound
The squelchy, gurgling noises made by the Flukes in Hollow Knight, used by fans and editors for gross, slimy creature moments in gameplay clips and memes.
The Fluke noises are the wet, bubbling vocalisations of the small, worm-like Flukes that live in the Royal Waterways of Hollow Knight. In just over a second and a half, the clip layers squelches, gurgles and high, almost giggling squeaks that sound both slimy and oddly cheerful, like something small and squishy wriggling just out of sight. Hearing it instantly brings back the damp, echoing tunnels and the slightly unsettling charm of those creatures, making it perfect for a sudden gross-out gag or a lighthearted jump scare. It is short, distinctive and instantly recognisable to anyone who has explored that part of Hallownest.
