The classic wolf whistle has been a shorthand for flirtatious attention for decades, heard in cartoons, comedies and street scenes where a character spots someone attractive. This weirder version keeps that instantly recognisable two-note shape but bends it out of tune, which is why it spread as a short soundboard clip for reaction edits and meme videos rather than as a serious effect. Creators reuse it because the audience gets the reference in under three seconds, and the off-key twist makes the joke land without needing any dialogue or explanation.
