That laugh broke through the silence like a drum roll.

A fierce laugh broke the silence that the gunshot had brought.

A soft laugh broke through her lips, but it was a hollow and bitter sound.

This time her laugh broke through, as well it might have.

A fierce, compelling laugh broke from the short hallway near the side door.

A low laugh broke the silence of the office.

A friendly laugh of greeting broke into the conversation.

The laugh broke in the middle, instantly bridging the gap from sound into silence.

Occasionally a shout or a loud laugh broke the gloom.

A short, hard laugh broke out of him like a cry.
