The woman posted the five-second clip via her Twitter account, username @P_gibb, featuring her showing off her "secret talent" last Thursday, with the effect going viral and garnering over 285,000 likes, 90,000 retweets and over 2,400 comments, and even making it into major news outlets around the world.
The clip led to countless imitations, some more serious than others, and even a tribute video using the sound effect to create an entire song.

Speaking to The Sun, Peyton Gibson, the woman behind the car alarm imitation, said she found it "surreal that this video blew up as big as it did."
"I think it's crazy that there's a challenge going around I never thought that a girl like me from Utah would ever influence so many people!" Gibson humbly noted.
Explaining that she was taught the car alarm trick by a friend when she was 15, the young woman said she was encouraged to upload the video to Twitter by her friends.
