Hyenas produce a distinctive 'laughing' sound, but this is not laughter in the human emotional sense. The 'whoop' or 'laugh' vocalization is used for communication within the clan - signaling excitement, submission, or frustration. While the sound resembles human laughter, it doesn't indicate amusement. However, most general knowledge questions accept that 'hyenas laugh' as a factual statement about their characteristic vocalization. The answer 'False' here suggests the question is testing the misunderstanding that hyenas laugh like humans do.
