The cue comes from Among Us, the social deduction game by Innersloth first released in 2018 that exploded in popularity in 2020. As streams and memes spread, the simplified name Amogus became a joke spelling used across edits and soundboards. Like the bomb has been planted announcement in shooters, this short start sound became shorthand for a round beginning. Players still recognise it instantly from thousands of matches, which is why creators reuse it far outside the game itself for any fresh start moment.
