baby laughter
Tiny joyful sounds
Baby laughter is the sound of an infant laughing—a gurgling, high-pitched giggle that typically emerges around three to four months of age.
The phrase often evokes pure, unselfconscious joy: There's nothing like baby laughter to lighten a room.
It appears in discussions of child development and as shorthand for infectious happiness.
