We can describe "a kind that exists generally" even if the restaurant turned and looked (then) and would still turn (now and in the future). Just need to change "the" with "a": > He laughed with the kind of booming abandon that made the whole restaurant turn around and look. to: > He laughed with a kind of booming abandon that made the whole restaurant turn around and look. In this case his laugh is still described as having a generalized "booming abandon", but the reaction of the patrons isn't a necessary reaction to that "kind of" laughter, but to that particular instance of it. That is, the noun is "the kind of booming abandon" and not "the kind of booming abandon that made the whole restaurant turn around and look".
