French term or phrase: hin hin hin
This is an excerpt from an interview with a pop singer talking about the kind of music she liked when she was younger.

Luxembourg vous permet d’accéder directement à ces chansons pop, et rapidement, vous aimez une pop grand public et étrange, une spécificité anglo-saxonne.
Oui, comme par exemple « Bad Boy » de Marty Wilde, qui est devenu « Pas gentil » quand je l’ai reprise, ou « Travellin’ Light » de Cliff Richard… Des choses un peu lascives, qui partent dans des accords mineurs, qui font « *** hin hin hin *** ». Ces chansons, je les aime toujours.

Heh heh heh
Explanation:
"Hin hin hin" is basically the equivalent of "heh heh heh" (or "hehehe," depending on how you want to spell it). I suppose it's tittering, since the context is "des choses un peu lascives."
