This audio is tied to Sonic.EXE, a horror fan creation based on the Sonic creepypasta that inspired multiple fan games and many game over scenes online. The sound became recognizable through YouTube uploads, gameplay videos and meme edits that used it to signal a doomed ending. Creators still use it because it instantly reads as corrupted, cursed or lost-the-game energy, especially in retro gaming content. Its appeal comes from mixing familiar Sonic imagery with horror framing, which makes even a short defeat sound feel eerie.
