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

Thanks for the clicky link
I hear yanny. Dd hears Laurel

DinaCaliente · 16/05/2018 12:23

They keep playing the clip on the radio and I definitely hear Laurel.
When I listen to it on my PC I hear the higher pitch Yanny.
So weird.

Laurel

blueskyinmarch · 16/05/2018 12:33

I have gone from Yanny to laurel back to Yanni. Yanni is higher pitched and laurel is in a deeper tone.

causeimunderyourspell · 16/05/2018 12:35

Are you joking?? I heard this this morning and thought 'this is so clearly laurel!!'

HagSeed · 16/05/2018 12:50

I hear both at the same time. A man with a tenor voice saying Yanny and a deep bass saying Laurel.

I can hear both. It either sounds like an alien saying yanny or Hugh Laurie saying Laurel.

Mamadothehump · 16/05/2018 13:04

100% laurel, no hint of yanny at all.

SoyDora · 16/05/2018 13:08

Horrid, high pitched, nasal ‘yanny’. Don’t hear a hint of laurel at all, however hard I try!

I honestly think anyone who says Yanny is lying!! I cannot make out a Y or N sound whatsoever. I hear a very clear Laurel

Well I honestly think anyone who says Laurel is lying! (I don’t really, I understand it’s down to frequencies)

EnglishGirlApproximately · 16/05/2018 13:10

When I first read this thread it was clearly Yanny, I’ve just clicked back on and it’s Laurel. Confused

MrsPotts18 · 16/05/2018 13:12

I can only hear 'Yanny'. Listened a few times and cannot pick up Laurel at all

paceyswife · 16/05/2018 13:12

Laurel

Dandybelle · 16/05/2018 13:18

I listened and heard Yanny, went to the shop, came back and heard Laurel.

What sorcery is this?!

farmerswifey2 · 16/05/2018 13:23

Laurel - Not even a whiff of Yanny!

LooseyInTheSky · 16/05/2018 13:24

I heard Yanny at first clear as day, but then I was looking for Laurel and heard it. Now, no matter how hard I try, I can't get Yanny back!

LolaL · 16/05/2018 13:24

Laurel... so strange how on earth can anyone hear Yanny?

ImAGoofyGoober · 16/05/2018 13:26

I don’t understand how anyone can hear yanny? All I hear is laurel

Possumfish · 16/05/2018 13:28

I heard yanny this morning. But when I heard it on the radio I hear laurel...

Beetlewing · 16/05/2018 13:30

Yanny but American style like this "Yeahnee"

mtpicasso · 16/05/2018 13:30

I can only hear Laurel.

Clandestino · 16/05/2018 13:31

Never Yanny, only Laurel. I tried both, my laptop and my mobile phone.

starkid · 16/05/2018 13:37

Yarry! I haven't tried listening on different devices/speakers yet though.

FluttershysCutieMarkTheHerald · 16/05/2018 13:38

First few times I listened i only heard Yanny, then I watched the boffin video and heard Laural. Now I'm annoyed.
