Diablo II was released by Blizzard Entertainment in 2000, and the Sorceress quickly became known for Teleport, a skill that lets her move instantly across the map. The short whoosh tied to the skill was heard constantly during farming runs, boss routes and later speedruns, making it one of the game's most familiar effects. As Diablo II clips, remastered playthroughs and meme edits spread online, creators began lifting the sound for any instant relocation, keeping it in use long after the original release.
