This sound comes from Pac-Man, the landmark arcade game released by Namco in 1980. The brief start melody became one of the most familiar audio cues in video game history because so many players heard it before each round. It later spread through compilations, retro game videos, and meme edits whenever creators wanted an instantly recognizable arcade opening. It still gets used because the tune is short, cheerful, and strongly tied to classic gaming culture.
