What kind of laugh is "fufufufufufu"? What does that even sound like? >_>

You know when you have that "almost laugh" where you blow air harshly out of your nose in rapid succession? I thought it was like that, but with your mouth.

Wouldn't that sound more like "fisfisfiss" and not "fufufu" though?

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

"Fu" in Japanese is sort of the syllabic equivalent of "hu," and tends to be viewed as a blowing or windy noise. As such, a localization for English speakers would probably be something like a breathy chuckle. Unfortunately, most translations just go for literal rather than localized, so we get a lot of really awkward-sounding junk.
(This habit is also why most animu and JRPG dialog sounds really stilted and repetitive.)

This makes sense, because other than one person I experienced who had a laugh that sounded like "soo-soo-soo-sul!," nobody laughs like that.

Usually, I translate "fufufu" as "hmhmhm" in English :)
Yeah, that'd be the option I'd go for as well.
I've always read it as fufufufufu, but with a breathy type of sound. Soundbyte time!

I get a "Page not found" error when I click the link ;_;
Oh. Seems it's in a moderation queue, not unlike our own here. >.<; I'll upload it elsewhere, then. Or not. I seem to have deleted the file. oops. WELL, it should be up sometime in the next day?

It's the sound I make when I'm trying to talk about Dave Grohl's band and my stutter is really bad that day.
