This sound is mainly known online as a simple ting meme or message-style alert effect rather than a clearly credited clip from a specific film or show. It spread through short-form edits, reposted meme videos, and soundboard pages because the quick chime is easy to drop into almost any joke format. People often use it the same way they use a ding sound effect or a Discord notification: to signal a reveal, a smart remark, or a sudden moment of attention.
