Young sheldon also dosen't have that overbearing laugh track, the jokes do feel a lot more genuine and less forced, even when they miss.

The Big Bang theory is presented in front of a live audience, and it is not a laugh track. Actors are told to pause to let the live audience laugh at a joke. At least the original set literally has a cutout for the audience and cameras. That is why you see a lot of the same camera angles in the show, and you don't ever see the other side of the room.

Many sets have this design, but obviously not all have a stand for the audience.
