English term or phrase: Laugh tracks
In American television, comedy shows often play a prerecorded sound of an audience laughing after the punchline of a joke or when a character says or does something funny. Originally this was the sound of an actual live studio audience but nowadays I think they are mostly computer-generated. I believe the intent is to psychologically "cue" the audience into laughing at the appropriate moments by giving the impression that others are also laughing at the same joke, thus giving a social indication to the viewer of what he/she should find funny.

What would be a good (literal or figurative) translation for "laugh tracks" in Persian? Are these or were these ever used in Iran or this is only a Western phenomenon? Thanks.

it is mostly in western series (like Friends, Big Bang Theory,etc). I, personally, didn't see such thing in Iranian movies.
