Yanny or Laurel?

[Tailg8er]

Which do you hear? When my wife first had me listen I thought it said 'yammy' and thought she was crazy for hearing Laurel. Now it sounds like Laurel plain as day..

I've seen this all over social media today. I finally listened and I hear yanny

It's both. Yanny is at a higher frequency, Laurel is at a lower.

I heard Yanny, clear as day, first. About 20 minutes later I listened again...Yanny. Then I listened to it while looking at the word "Laurel" and holy crap, that's all I hear now. So odd.

All I could hear was Yanny earlier today. Had no idea how anyone could hear any differently. Now all I can hear is Laurel clear as day.

I hear both at the same time - Yanny high, Laurel low.

I hear “Yarry” like “Larry” with a y at the beginning.

The first time I watched the video (with the two guys debating -- which was a recording of a recording) I heard "Yanny" clearly. Then I listed to the original and it was clearly "Laurel"Bizarre my mind can switch like that.

Depends on what I listen too it on. This morning on TV, it was clear as day Yanny. When I listen to the link above on my computer it's clearly Laurel. I'm guessing it has to do with your system, equalizer/processor, speakers, etc on what frequencies are being output. Then of course hearing is different for everyone.

I listened to this probably 5-6 times throughout yesterday and I heard Laurel all but once.

I've tried and tried to hear anything resembling Yanny but its Laurel plain as day for me. My wife is the exact opposite.

I saw a long thread on social media and it seems more women hear Yanny (or Yammy) and more men hear Laurel. All of you who can hear both are freaks of nature.

Laurel

Yanny, but it sounds like Yanyee sometimes.

I heard Yanny for about the first 5 times, now I can't hear anything but Laurel.
