This sound comes from Minecraft, the sandbox game originally released by Mojang in 2011. Short gameplay effects from Minecraft spread widely through YouTube videos, livestream clips and meme edits because even non-players often recognize them instantly. The hit sound remains popular because it is brief, clear and easy to sync with visual impact, damage, failure or surprise. Creators use it both in actual Minecraft content and in unrelated memes when they want a quick game-like cue that feels familiar.
