Question:

Can mute people laugh? I need to know for a novel I'm writing.?

I really need to know; can mute people laugh? It may seem like a really stupid question, but I NEED to know. Only answer if you REALLY know, because I don't want some uneducated person giving me false information (no offense to those uneducated people on Yahoo!)


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I think they could smile or maybe chuckle a little bit, but they cannot do any sort of laughing that would require voice production. Just think about it the next time you laugh, how much of what you do is based on using your voice?

good question.
