Yanny or Laurel?!

[CaliforniaDream]

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

I'm so relieved. I thought this was a baby name thread and couldn't believe someone was going to saddle their child with Yanny.

Thank you SO much to the person who linked the frequency explanation. I was going mental.

Yanny

Yanny. Can't hear a hint of Laurel there.

When I first posted 20 mins ago it was clearly yanny but having just rechecked it's Defo Laurel!! Used the exact same device! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Yanny. How do people hear Laurel?

It's gone back to yanny.

I'll have to stop listening as it's making me annoyed that I can't control which I hear., 😂

I tried it on my laptop and my phone. Both Yanny.

I thought this was going to be a baby names thread.

I hear Yanny clear as anything.

Wow that's crazy! So are they saying your hearing is somehow damaged if you only hear Laurel?

I think it's more about hearing different frequencies and the natural changes that happen to our hearing as we age rather than damage.

Yanny! And I'm very old.

I could only hear 'Yarry/Yerry' so I guess I am with the 'Yanny' crowd

Right, tried again and now I only hear yanny. How???

I hear a high pitched yanny. DP hears Laurel.

Most definitely laurel

Laurel!!! Mind the first time I thought he said yammel

This is really bizarre - it has clear L sounds at the beginning and end of the word.

Yanny

Laurel.

Are people insane?? It's so obviously Laurel!

Ginger - that's what I thought.

Give it half an hour and try again. Now I have no idea how I ever heard Laurel (although apparently the original recording was Laurel before they messed with it!).

Okay, now it's the complete opposite. Someone's messing me about!

And now it's back to Laurel.

This is killing me.

Damn you, Op!!
