The sound is credited to Bilal Göregen, a Turkish street musician known online for his energetic hand-drum performances and vocal percussion. Short clips of his playing have circulated widely on social media, where editors lifted the most rhythmic, repeatable moments for memes and short videos. The dul dul dul pattern works because it is simple, instantly recognisable and easy to loop, so it travelled far beyond its original street-performance context. It remains popular as a light-hearted hype sound for edits that need rhythm without lyrics getting in the way.
