This sound is tied to the social deduction game Among Us, which became hugely popular online in 2020 through streams, clips and meme edits. Creators use role-style audio cues from the game to frame someone as innocent, suspicious or secretly important.

It still appears in short videos, gaming compilations and reaction edits whenever a scene needs an instant impostor-style twist.
