The sound is listed as a revamped version of a jumpscare effect for SNAR, a title associated by players with FNAF fan game content. Revamped versions are commonly shared on soundboards when creators want a cleaner or louder take on a familiar scare, similar in use to the FNAF Jumpscare Scream. Short jumpscare clips like this spread through horror edits, fan game videos and meme compilations, where a one second blast is easy to reuse. Its continued use comes from that instant recognition among horror game audiences.
