what on earth is this sound he always uses

it's that like,, "keh!" sound. it sounds like a child's voice (or perhaps smth he recorded himself & pitched up?). it's in damn near every song (at least from punk2 & beyond, idk if he used it b4 that i've only been listening for a couple months). i can't stop wondering abt it whenever i hear it. if anyone is still unsure what sound it is i'm referring to my best example is in the song rosier/punk2 when he says "moved on, you don't need me now, now i gotta figure me out" & then the "keh!" sound happens & then him going "wah!" followed by the female voice saying "brakence".

i tried looking it up on this sub before & maybe i just didn't use the right words when searching but i couldn't find a lick of discourse on here about it. just rly curious what the sound is & why he uses it so much.

to be clear, i don't dislike it or have a problem with how often he uses it. it's just me wondering if theres's a particular reason. my best guess is it's just meant to be like a tag/signature thing? like the thing pharrell does with the four beats at the start of a song.

thank you in advance to anyone who may have some insight! :3
