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

bannanapeppers · 16/05/2018 20:37

now iv went back and i can hear laurel.. wtf!

dudsville · 16/05/2018 20:38

I expected to hear laurel, since yanny isn't a word as far as I know, but I can only hear yanny. Even after staring at the word laurel and trying to make it fit. What gives?

MorningsEleven · 16/05/2018 20:40

I hear "yammy". Can't hear any n at all

MorningsEleven · 16/05/2018 20:41

@Walkerbean16

Pink and white.

TigerlilyMoon · 16/05/2018 20:42

Definitely Laurel! I can hear it pronounced with an American accent..... I'm English btw. I'm trying so hard to hear Yanny but I cant!! X

AckYourHole · 16/05/2018 20:55

Laurel! But DS hears Yammy. How weird Shock

BakedBeans47 · 16/05/2018 20:58

Clearly Laurel!

insideoutsider · 16/05/2018 21:16

Intrigued!
2 DCs under 12 - one heard Yemmy, the other heard Laurel. I heard Yanny! Why does my child or anyone else hear Laurel?!

The trainers are definitely pink with white laces.

BalaBrith · 16/05/2018 21:18

What on earthConfused
I hear Laurel

Oysterbabe · 16/05/2018 21:19

The trainers are grey and mint green.
I hear Laurel but my husband and 2 year old hear Yanny.

BitchQueen90 · 16/05/2018 21:22

Laurel. I've tried so hard to hear yanny but I can't.

Emma198 · 16/05/2018 21:24

I was hearing Laurel earlier and then went through to other room and it was still on radio, and I started hearing yanny! Weird.

IWouldLikeToKnow · 16/05/2018 21:26

How strange! On the radio this morning I definitely heard Laurel without a hint of Yanny but on this link I can only hear Yanny. I wonder if it's to do with the device you hear it on, or if it changes sound when being streamed or something. Not really sure what that means!

Emma198 · 16/05/2018 21:27

Trainers are pink with white stripe sole and laces

hairypaws · 16/05/2018 21:27

Laural for me and yanny for dh. I don't understand yanny, there is no way!

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 16/05/2018 21:27

Well that's fucking weird! I listened to it earlier and could only hear Laurel while my DCs were adamant it was Yanny. Just listened again and can only hear Yanny! WTF is going on?!

blueskyinmarch · 16/05/2018 21:28

I am still flipping between Yanny and laurel. No rhyme nor reason. Sometimes one and sometimes the other.

MyRelationshipIsWeird · 16/05/2018 21:29

Trainers were clearly grey and mint green. Then I tilted my screen and they're pink and white!

Justabadwife · 16/05/2018 21:29

Yanny. Deffo Yanny.
So I asked DH, he said Laurel (his actual words were, how the fuck can you hear Yanny when it starts with a L) 😂😂
My brain hurts

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 16/05/2018 21:30

I can only hear yanny. It's so weird!

Hiphopster · 16/05/2018 21:31

This must be a trick and it plays you one or the other as the verdict seems split but there is no way on gods green earth I’m hearing anything other than laurel

theaveragewife · 16/05/2018 21:32

Same as others, I heard Laurel earlier same as DH, now I hear Yanni and he still hears Laurel. I feel like it’s gaslighting me.

SoyDora · 16/05/2018 21:32

Hiphopster my DH can hear both at the same time, he says he just tunes his ear into it.

doctorcuntybollocks · 16/05/2018 21:33
