Boosted sounds became a staple of prank and earrape editing in the late 2010s, when creators deliberately pushed audio far past normal levels for comic shock value. This short boosted noise clip follows that tradition and circulates on soundboards as a quick reaction and jumpscare tool. It is often grouped with other loud meme clips like the bass boost discord call, and shared in Discord calls, group chats, and short form videos where an unexpected blast of sound is the entire joke.
