cackling
Henhouse sound effect
Cackling is the sharp, broken sound a hen makes after laying an egg, or more broadly, any similar harsh, staccato laughter.
The word often suggests something unpleasant or sinister about the laugh: The witch's cackling echoed through the forest.
A group might be described as cackling over gossip or jokes, implying loud, somewhat raucous amusement.
