Vacuum cleaner sounds are a staple of online soundboards because the noise is instantly recognisable in almost any language, including in Spanish-language searches for aspiradora sounds. Creators reuse the same kind of recording for cleaning videos, reaction clips, pranks and sound design, where a real household appliance adds authenticity that a cartoon effect cannot match. Its popularity comes from that everyday familiarity: almost everyone knows the sound, so it needs no explanation. It remains useful for comedy, ASMR-style cleaning content and edits that need a loud, continuous background noise.
