Where you hear it
gnomemalelaugh01.ogg plays when a male gnome uses /laugh (or its alias /lol). Gnomes have the highest-pitched voices of the original races, and this giggle is a perfect example. Because emotes can be spammed on demand, gnome laughter became a staple of good-natured trolling outside the Ironforge bank. The race lost its capital, Gnomeregan, to a trogg invasion and a radiation disaster, yet the voice set stayed relentlessly cheerful. The clip is a little over three seconds of high, rapid laughter.
