Can the people you call hear you laughing?

Well, I don't want to answer for jack, but my insight to that would be that you have to keep in mind that they are compressing the audio file after they are done recording, and that brings up the volume of quieter things, such as the laughing you can hear in some of the calls. At the time the call was taking place, for the person on the phone, the laughing would be MUCH quieter, probably inaudible.

On the few occassions the people could hear them laughing, it almost immediately gives it away, unless they are able to play some kind of audio file to cover it up.

that's exactly right rgraves

recording land line phone calls, the signal you're producing is much louder than the signal you're getting from the other person, so even though to them it sounds like your soundboard volume is just right, it probably sounds too loud to you, and then when you open the recordings in an audio editor like Adobe Audition, you can easily see in the waveform when your soundboard is much louder than the other person, which is usually the case with us

we intentionally record quietly as well, so that the stuff that's wayyyy louder like the Chinatown laugh and the screaming can be super loud, but without distorting too much on the recording

then, since we recorded so quietly, we raise the audio back up before we post the calls - an average of 10-12 dB,  but NOT a simple amplification

simply amplifying all of the the sound would raise jack's voice as well - but since on almost every recording he's much louder than the other person, you have to use hard limiting, which allows you to raise the volume level of only the quiet stuff

Adobe Audition's hard limiting is a nice compression/amplification tool, with easily adjustable parameters

using their hard limiting, you set a ceiling of maybe 0.5-1.5 dB (any louder and you're in danger of popping sounds and distortion) and say, "Raise the volume of all of the audio, but only if it doesn't go louder than the ceiling." that way you get to raise the volume of the quieter stuff up near the level of the loud stuff

BUT - as rgraves said, doing so also amplifies the background noise - including the muffled laughter... and the hiss... which then necessitates that you also run noise reduction...

so it's a bit of a process

but on almost all of the calls where you hear laughter the person we're calling would have to be listening really close to hear it, but even then they probably wouldn't
