Ice hockey arenas have long used loud sirens and goal horns to mark goals, penalties and the end of periods, helping a large crowd react together over the noise of the game. Short recordings of that blast later spread online as a reusable sound effect, separate from any single match or team. Because the tone is instantly linked to scoring and celebration, creators borrow it for sports compilations, gaming clips and memes where a win needs to be announced in the loudest, clearest way possible.
