Yanny or Laurel?!

[CaliforniaDream]

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

Yanny - not even NEARLY Laurel.

I can only hear Yanny.

38 btw.

Right. I am sat with American DH. I played it and asked what he hears, without telling him the options. "Laurel, what else?"

I hear Yanny. Well, yammy actually.

Crazy.

Yanny for me too, can not hear Laurel at all!

It's not a trick as DS heard it differently at the exact same time as me

Explanation

I want the audiology geeks to come and tell us about the speech banana!

X post, NPG!

Yeah the above link explains it - “Yannay” is high frequency which as some people get older they can’t hear but “Laurel” is low frequency in the background

100% yanny I cant hear anything that even remotely resembles laurel and I've listened about 50 times.... my 6 year old son however is adamant it's yanny

Sorry my 6 year old son is adamant it's laurel

I'm in my 20s and can only hear Laurel I'm generally pretty good with higher frequencies too. I don't understand at all!

Yanny 100%!

Yanny for me, no hint of Laurel. I'm 38 but have weird hearing where I still hear high frequency stuff. Until only a couple of years ago I was still bothered by those Mosquito things they have to stop teenagers congregating and there is a projector in my office that has to be turned off at the wall otherwise the high-pitched whine when it's on standby drives me mad. Nobody else can hear it.

Laurel in american accent

Laurel!

Apparently your hearing and what pitches you can hear has something to do with it, so then I tested that online, and now I'm depressed and blaming the shit speaker on my iPhone!!

I only hear Laurel. I’m Scottish and frequently using Yanny as a child friendly version of calling someone a fanny

I can only hear Yanny.

I hear Laurel, as clear as day. No hint of any Yanny!

I definitely hear Laurel

It's SO Laurel

Is this the audio equivalent of those silhouettes of pirouetting balerinas?

I hear Laurel, and only Laurel. I'm 40.

This was on the radio before and I heard Laurel clear as day, listening to the one linked now it’s plainly yann - so maybe sometimes I can hear high frequencies and sometimes not?

I think the speakers you are listening on make a difference, earlier I listened with headphones on and could hear both, and now listening on my iPhone speakers I can only hear Laurel

I don’t understand how anyone is hearing Yanny. It’s crazy.
