Footsteps on grass is a generic environmental sound effect rather than a clip from a film, game or viral video, and similar recordings have long been used in film, television and online video to suggest outdoor movement without showing it. On soundboard and editing sites, short walking sounds are popular because they are easy to reuse across many kinds of projects, from travel vlogs and animation to ASMR-style ambience and game prototypes. Its steady, neutral character keeps it useful for creators who need believable background movement without a recognisable voice or melody drawing focus away from the visuals.
