"Laugh" here is a noun.
The clues are:
(i)
The grammar: "her laugh" is like "her handbag", "her home", or "her personality". Also "what you loved" refers to a noun, and so when you get to "was" you expect a noun to be coming soon.
(ii)
The meaning: In this sentence nobody is laughing, so "laugh" cannot be a verb here. Rather, we are talking about a laugh, or perhaps the laugh that she had. The idea is of a thing, an abstract one rather than a concrete one that you can pick up.
