This sound is a generic camera flash or shutter effect rather than a quote from a film, show or meme character. Online, it is widely used in short-form edits, reaction videos, photo dumps and transformation clips to signal that a moment has been captured like a picture. Its popularity comes from how quickly viewers understand the cue: one sharp snap can turn a normal cut into a snapshot reveal. Closely related effects include the camera shutter sound heard in other photo-themed clips.
