I don't agree.  The harmonizer placed on his voice served to obscure what 
would be the most telling part of his howl/laugh; the spaces in between 
bursts.  Was it hhAAAAAhhhAAAAAhhhAAAA, or wwAAAAAwwAAAAwwAAA ?  The strength
of the effect made the more subtle bits more obscure.  I still believe the
vowel quality was sorrow, but it's hard to tell with an obviously disturbed
man.
