This sound comes from Valorant, Riot Games' team-based tactical shooter released in 2020. The game's audio design made short feedback cues instantly recognizable, and the kill confirmation sound spread into montages, TikTok edits and meme compilations because it clearly signals that someone has been taken out. It remains popular with creators who want a gaming sound that feels modern, crisp and easy to understand even for viewers who do not play Valorant. It is often used alongside other shooter-style cues like Enemy Spotted.
