Joyful sound effects in their simplest form: people laughing. Warm chuckles, giggles, hees and haws, roars and proper belly laughs, recorded in enough detail to catch the breaths and tiny mouth clicks. Not every laugh is happy, mind. A few are raucous or awkward. The joyful ones sound like they mean it.
Joy is hard to fake, so a real laugh does a lot of work in a happy ending or a reunion. The Playful takes have a lighter touch for animation or a cheerful game, and a happy Exhale can say more than a full laugh. These sit best as short moments and layers rather than a long stretch of laughter under a scene.
