The Stuka was the German Junkers Ju 87 dive bomber used extensively during the Second World War, and many aircraft were fitted with small propeller-driven sirens, nicknamed Jericho Trumpets, mounted on the landing gear. The sirens sounded automatically during a dive and were intended as a psychological weapon, spreading panic before bombing raids. The scream became a stock sound in war films and documentaries, and later spread online as a shorthand for an incoming attack, so editors now recognise it even when it is used for comedy rather than history.

The screaming siren of a WWII Stuka dive bomber in a steep descent, used in war videos, memes and edits to signal an incoming attack or dramatic drop.
This is the rising, wailing siren fitted to the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber, a sound designed to terrify troops on the ground before the aircraft released its bombs. It starts as a high, thin whine and builds into a loud, piercing scream as the plane appears to plunge, creating instant tension and a sense of something falling fast toward the viewer. Even outside a war film, listeners recognise it immediately as a warning of impact, which is why editors use it to make a joke, a fail or a sudden reveal feel much bigger and more dramatic than the picture alone would suggest.
