Instant Transmission is best known as Goku's teleportation technique in Dragon Ball Z, adapted from Akira Toriyama's manga and popularized worldwide through the anime in the 1990s. The sound became a familiar shorthand in fan edits, versus clips and gaming videos whenever someone vanishes or crosses space instantly. Online, it is often used alongside a teleport sound or other anime effects to sell speed, surprise and overpowered movement in a split second.
