This sound is tied to the emission, often called a blowout, from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series by GSC Game World. The event became especially memorable to players because it signals a deadly anomaly storm and a frantic need to find shelter. Online, the audio spread beyond the games into Russian-speaking meme culture, gaming compilations and dramatic reaction edits. It still gets used because the buildup immediately tells viewers that a normal scene is turning into a full-scale disaster.
