It's the sound a group of high school girls makes when their crush walks by. It's that suppressed, high-pitched laugh you let out when you're trying not to be too loud in a quiet place like a library or a church. It's the sound of 'kilig' or sharing a secret joke. Basically, a laugh that's trying to stay on a leash but failing adorably.
