The sound comes from the family of default iPhone ringtones that became familiar after the iPhone launched in 2007, when its melodic rings were widely copied onto other phones and editing libraries. Online creators reused the clip as a generic alarm and incoming call cue, especially in short films, stories and prank edits where a recognisable phone sound is needed instantly. Its Russian listing notes it is suited to film and story montage, which reflects how it now circulates less as a phone setting and more as a stock editing effect.
