This sound comes from World of Warcraft and is commonly recognized as the Rogue stealth audio cue. Over the years, players have reused it in montages, PvP videos and meme edits to signal sneaking, invisibility or a planned attack. Its popularity lasts because the cue is instantly readable even to many non-players: a quick audio shorthand for disappearing into the shadows. In gaming meme culture, it fills a similar role to Enemy Spotted, but with a quieter, more secretive feel.
