loud laugh

Hearty vocal outburst

A loud laugh is laughter that's boisterous or easily heard—the opposite of a quiet chuckle or suppressed giggle.

The phrase often describes someone's characteristic way of laughing: She has a loud laugh that fills any room.

It can suggest uninhibited enjoyment or, less charitably, a lack of social restraint.
