I have a number of friends in the Latin American world, and they describe the sound of this kind of laughter as "chchchchchch". The type of laugh where your throat isn't fully engaged, but you're pushing laugh air through your teeth as you smile.

The traditional English word for it would be a 'titter,' which is a quiet, timid laugh.
