The clip circulates online attributed to astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, isolated from its original context as a short standalone vocal effect. Rather than a recorded vehicle, the sound is entirely his voice imitating speed, which is why it spread easily on soundboards and in short-form edits. Creators reuse it as a shorthand for anything moving implausibly fast, from athletes and animals to animated objects. Its brevity and recognisable delivery keep it useful even without context, and it remains a go-to alternative to a traditional whoosh effect.

Neil deGrasse Tyson saying nyoooom in an extended zoom sound, a short voice clip used for fast movement, flying past and comedic speed edits.
This clip is Neil deGrasse Tyson vocalising a playful nyoooom, stretching the word out like a cartoon object speeding past. His delivery is clear and amused, rising slightly then trailing off as if something has just whooshed out of frame. At just over two seconds it lands instantly, without needing any setup or context. Viewers hear it as a verbal zoom effect rather than a real engine or wind recording. The humour comes from a well-known science communicator making a deliberately silly noise, turning a quick movement on screen into an exaggerated, light-hearted punchline.
