The Poojer Posted May 16, 2018 Author Posted May 16, 2018 My son and I are sitting 10 feet away and he heard Yanny and I just looked at him as if he was f***ing with me. He swears he hears Yanny. NYTimes has a tool that you can slide a resonance bar left and right to hear when it changes. I made it almost all the way to the left before I heard yanny https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur 3 minutes ago, RaoulDuke79 said: I cant see how anyone gets yanny out of that.

Guffalo Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Someone was discussing this, according to what he researched, if you have full range of hearing (you can hear a wider spectrum) you will hear "Yanny", those wth a smaller spectrum will hear "Laurel" but that tool gives a great way to check how the other side hears it.

Fadingpain Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I hear both very clearly. There is "YANNY" in a higher frequency and it is the predominant sound being produced. Under that, in a much deeper (lower frequency) is "LAUREL". I hear the second syllable in "LAUREL" much more prominently than the first. I can totally see why different people hear 2 different words, b/c they are both sort of there. If your hearing cheats to higher frequencies, you'll be in the "YANNY" camp, if you pick up lower frequencies better, you'll hear LAUREL or something more like that. Listen to it over an over and tell yourself to ONLY listen for 1 or the other. You should be able to hear it. Then listen ONLY for the other word...you should hear that too. If this is supposed to be a sound clip to show people what "LAUREL" sounds like, I'd say it's pretty ****ty and could have been better.
YoloinOhio Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 If I move it all the way toward Yanny on the tool I hear Yeery
Gray Beard Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 I hear Laurel but when I use the tool I hear Yanny starting at about one quarter of the way from the high pitch end. 3/4 of the range on the slider I hear Laurel, 1/4 Yanny.
RaoulDuke79 Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Got 3 more Laurel's from the wife and kids. Although, when i was playing it form them I may have heard a slight Yanny.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 They were playing it on the local news. Sitting in front of the TV I heard Laurel. I was in my kitchen 8 feet away when they replayed it and I heard Yanni
Wacka Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Anyone who hears Yanni is f'd in the head. ? I heard Laurel all day including the first time this morning on the way to work,
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 16, 2018 Posted May 16, 2018 Local poll on TV 58% heard Yanni which is what my wife hears

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 It’s both words at different frequencies.
Wacka Posted May 17, 2018 Posted May 17, 2018 YesI did have a stroke. But they played it before asking what you heard. every single time it was Laurel. There is no way the el in laurel could sound like ee in Yanni.
