Yanny or Laurel?!

[CaliforniaDream]

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

DH and ds both hear Laurel 😲

I'm mid 40s and can only hear "Yanni" (until I listened to that explanation. My oh hears "Yearly". My dd 13 hears "Yanni" too.

Laurel although the first time it sounded like it began with a y. Was listening with a headset at work. Tried it on the other ear and when he said it I actually felt sick!

I heard yer mate, so probably more like Yanny than Laurel.

OMG! Just demonstrated to DH on my phone and it's definitely Yanny. Weirder.

I hear laurel, low pitch, and nothing else.
DC1 (13) hears both clearly but yanny is a bit louder, and higher pitched.
DC2 (10) hears only laurel, low pitch.
DC3 (5) hears laurel only too.

Weird!

Ok so late to the party. But I heard "Yanny" at first, yet after listening a while I heard "Laurel".

Apologies if this has been answered but why is that? When I listen now I can only hear Laurel. The mind is an amazing beautiful thing.

I hear ‘yearly’

Myself and my 9 year old hear Laurel, my 6 year old hears Yanny!

i have been listening to this all day, on multiple different devices, car radio, phones etc and have only ever heard Yanny. Anyone else? what does it mean?

i hear Yanny. so does my DS and husband. no idea where people are getting Laurel from!

anyway....

what colour are these trainers?! 😂

I hear 'lorry' so there we go!

The trainers are a soft grey with mint green sole, laces

Yanny

The trainers are pink and white laces....no wait, I went back and they are grey and green wtf

Now they are pink and white again. What's going on!

I hear "yay-ray". Tried at home and at work. Suppose it could be "yearly" at a push. But Yanny or Laurel? Neither!

Am I the only person for whom the link in the OP doesn’t work?

What I want to know is who was the person who recorded this and why.

Yanny.
Trainers are grey with mint green laces, sole and stripe

Laurel on car radio this morning, yanni on tv this evening

now my husband can hear laurel! what the heck!

I hear yany and the trainers are grey with mint green laces.

Dh hears Laurel and sees the trainers as pink with white laces.

He's wrong of course!

I heard Garry. So yeh....

After singing along to Ariana Grande whilst in the shower (me not Ariana) tried it again & am now hearing Yanny.
(Wonder if that's because Ariana is high pitched so my ear was automatically picking up high frequency sounds?)
DH can only hear Laurel.

The trainers are pale pink with grey laces.
