Laser sounds have been a staple of science fiction since early radio, film and arcade games established the electronic zap as the noise a futuristic weapon should make.

Online, creators reuse it as a flexible sound effect for games, animations, toys and meme battles, where the recognisable pew signals action instantly without needing explanation or a specific franchise reference.
