The pluck has no single famous origin to trace, and that is part of why it travels so well online. Short, neutral sounds like this are shared as effects because they fit almost any edit without carrying the baggage of a film, show or song. Creators use it as a tiny cue for movement, surprise and timing, especially in fast videos where a joke or change needs to land in under a second. Its popularity comes from usefulness rather than fame: it is clean, instantly recognisable as a snap, and easy to drop into a timeline.
