AIBU to think that anyone who hears Laurel is playing a practical joke? It's definitely yanny!

I can only hear Yanny and I tried several times.

I think because I’m English I will only hear Yanny, perhaps those who speak with the American accent can decipher Yanny...

I guess this thread will tell me if I’m right!

GlitteryFluff · 16/05/2018 07:30

Yanny for me too.

ImNotMeImSomeoneElse · 16/05/2018 07:30

I hear Laurel Confused

Springersprung · 16/05/2018 07:34

Laurel for me

FissionChips · 16/05/2018 07:34

I hear Laurel , I don’t understand how people are hearing “Yanny” Confused

littlemissalwaystired · 16/05/2018 07:36

I'm English and can only hear Laurel. Not even a hint of Yanny.

LateToTheParty · 16/05/2018 07:36

Yanny, and I don't understand how people are hearing Laurel!

LionsTeeth · 16/05/2018 07:36

I can only hear Laurel

ImNotMeImSomeoneElse · 16/05/2018 07:37

And now I can hear 'Yanny' what magic is this?

When I hear one, the other just isn't there at all. Are we being pranked?

0h · 16/05/2018 07:38

Yanny.

I can't understand the Laurel hearers at all!

SlowlyShrinking · 16/05/2018 07:39

Yanny, definitely

MrsST · 16/05/2018 07:41

I hear Yarry. So god only knows!

Amanduh · 16/05/2018 07:41

Yannu. Listened over and over. No sign of Laurel

Amanduh · 16/05/2018 07:41

*yanny

ERipley · 16/05/2018 07:41

Laurel. Can’t hear Yanny at all.

Droopyrose · 16/05/2018 07:42

Last night was yanny the first 5-6 times then laurel, but this morning it's back to yanny. All clear as anything. My teen only hears laurel.

0lgaDaPolga · 16/05/2018 07:46

All I can hear is Laurel. Not sure how people can hear Yanny?!

TheBogWitchIsBack · 16/05/2018 07:46

I heard laurel first but I listened to it a few times and I can hear both tbh ..sometimes yanny in a nasally American accent and sometimes laurel in a more British accent.
It's an odd one.

milkmoustache · 16/05/2018 07:48

It's the blue/gold dress again, but audible instead of visual!

Redglitter · 16/05/2018 07:48

Laurel clear as a bell
Can't hear anything remotely like Yanny

MissionItsPossible · 16/05/2018 07:49

Oh no, this is the colour dress all over again isn’t it. I am completely baffled at those saying they hear Laurel Confused

Pantah630 · 16/05/2018 07:49

Laurel here, no hints of anything else.

BuntyII · 16/05/2018 07:51

Laurel, I don't get Yanny at all.

I'm a bit scared to listen to it again in case I hear Yanny for some reason 😂

SimonBridges · 16/05/2018 07:52

Yanny. Every time.

MissionItsPossible · 16/05/2018 07:53

How can we be so split on this? Wonder what makes us hear different words? I have listened to it 20 times or so to try and make out Laurel but all I hear is Yanny
