Yanny or Laurel?!

[CaliforniaDream]

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

You’re right, Bonfires!

It's definitely the same clip ..when I hear laurel clearly I can vaguely hear yanny in the background and vice versa.
I can easily shift my attention between one and the other. When you start hearing them it's virtually impossible not to hear them.

I hear Yanni if the volume is turned down and Laurel if it is turned up. Can switch between, even mid-word by scrolling the volume up and down.

Yanny for me

Yanny.

Definitely only Laurel for me

Yanny for me. Can't hear Laurel at all. I've tried messing with the volume but it's still Yanny.

YAnny

Or Yummy even.

Can’t imagine where Laurel comes in.

100% yanny - although I can hear Laurel in the slowed-down version (but that could just as easily just be someone going "yanny yanny yanny laurel" for all I know).

I asked 2yo DS and he hears yanny too.

Are both yanny and Laurel in the recording but your brain only chooses to hear one of them at a time, is that it? I guess that's the reason for the crackly "interference" noise in the background?

Head melted anyway.

I've been listening to this all morning, and I can now switch from Yanny to Laurel at the same volume, but I can only get Yanny back if I turn the volume right down.

I thought the Laurel was made-up bs until I heard it- but they're both there, although Laurel is a much lower pitch.

All the Yanny hearers, do me a favour and leave it an hour then try again. This is what I did and can only hear Laurel now. Interested to see if anyone else has this

I listened last night and couldn't hear either Yanny or Laurel but am hearing Yanny really clearly now.

Laurel is an undertone - he's saying Yanny but you hear the Laurel with the sound up. I did wonder if there was more than one recording as Laurel seemed to get more pronounced the more times I listened.

I hear yenny and so does my dm. Neither of us can hear laurel but the sky presenters hear laurel.

Tried it again so it's been a few hours I hear a bit of both. Larry. ??I have allergies, my ears a bit blocked.

I can hear both. Like Yaurel.

Fuck knows but it's not either of them words.

Yanny

Laurel!

I hear both/neither. I either hear Yarry, or make myself hear one or the other. One is high pitched, one lower. Both weird and robotic. Hasn’t blown my mind like the gold/blue dress!

It's frequency, there's an article on the BBC about it and it shows what happens if you remove the high/low frequency, you hear either Yanny or Laurel.

I can hear Yanny. But on the slowed down clip that someone posted below I can hear both Yanny and Laurel depending on the speed.

I don't hear Yanny or Laurel 😂

I'm sure the guy is saying 'yearly'

I've tried it on phone and computer and either time if I turn the sound down I hear 'Yanny' but if I turn it up 'Laurel'. The point at which they change is rather strange to hear.

Yanny for me, and I'm 44. Can't hear Laurel at all no matter how much I fiddle with the volume. Not sure how accurate this is though as my hearing is definitely not that great - I always have the subtitles on the tv.
