Where it comes from
Sounds like this typically come from small handheld gas-powered horns sold for sports events and boat use, captured close to the microphone in a studio take or on a phone. The clipped, overdriven edge is a normal result of recording a loud source at close range.
How to use it
- TikTok: landing the punchline on a fail clip the moment the stunt collapses.
- Twitch: firing a reaction when a streamer loses a ranked match.
- Discord: cutting into voice chat after someone repeats the same joke.

Why does the air horn sound distorted?
The distortion comes from the horn being recorded very close and very loud, which overloads the microphone. That clipped edge is part of why it reads as a meme sound.
