The clip is catalogued as a single fly buzzing effect and is associated with the Donald Duck cartoon Window Cleaners, released on 20 September 1940, when Donald works as a high-rise window cleaner. Short insect buzzes from classic cartoons later became standard library effects, reused in animation, comedy edits and soundboards because a familiar cartoon hum could stand in for bees, flies and wasps alike. It remains popular online for its instant recognisability, fitting nature clips, summer scenes and jokes about a pest that will not leave someone alone.
