Fake Laugh Sound Effect

📝 Description

This Fake Laugh sound effect is politeness stretched to breaking point — a forced, hollow ha-ha that makes zero attempt to sound sincere. It is the laugh you give a boss joke that missed, a punchline that fell flat, or a story you have heard four times already. Reaction culture weaponized it for comedic contrast: drop it after a genuinely bad pun, over an awkward silence, or in response to a take so weak it earns only obligatory acknowledgment. In Discord it is the pointed sound of unimpressed friends, and in skits it exposes a character faking enthusiasm. Every hollow syllable says I am laughing so I do not have to explain why I am not.
