Windows 10, released by Microsoft in 2015, uses a small set of system sounds for hardware events, including a descending chime when a USB device is removed or loses power. The clip circulated online in boosted versions alongside other operating system alerts such as the Discord Notification and error sounds, because viewers instantly recognise the meaning without any visual context. Loud edits turned a routine desktop cue into a meme punctuation mark, and it remains popular in gaming and tech videos where a disconnect signals an abrupt, funny ending.
