Jumpscare sound from Foxy in Five Nights at Freddy's, a loud animatronic scream used for horror edits, prank scares and sudden reveal moments in videos.

This is the jumpscare scream triggered by Foxy, the pirate fox animatronic from Five Nights at Freddy's, when he rushes the office and lunges at the player. It is a harsh, distorted shriek layered over mechanical noise, starting without warning and hitting at full volume almost instantly. The abruptness is the whole effect, turning a quiet moment of checking cameras into instant panic. Online, that same sudden blast works as a shock punchline, waking up a calm scene and making viewers jump before they have time to laugh at themselves for falling for it.

Five Nights at Freddy's launched in 2014 as an indie horror game by Scott Cawthon, built around watching animatronic characters through security cameras until one breaks through. Foxy, who sprints down the hallway rather than creeping like the others, became a fan favourite and his attack became inseparable from the wider FNAF Jumpscare Scream in meme culture. Clips spread through YouTube lets plays, edits and soundboards during the game's viral rise, and creators still reuse Foxy's version for its speed, recognisability and instant horror association without needing any context.
