Laurel or Yanny

[4merper4mer]

I hear DC Tom saying "you're an idiot".

[eball]

I was Laurel all the way...my wife was Yanny.  Using the slider I could hear Yanny slightly past center.  My wife couldn't hear Laurel until it was moved all the way over.

When I first heard this (on YouTube) it was Yanny all the way. Yet I was watching it from my tv and their speakers, than I tried it on my cell phone with headphones this morning and it started as Yanny and moved to Laurel. Now this time on my pc with computer speakers I heard Laurel until the last bar I finally got Yanny.

Now I played it for my wife and clearly hear Laurel.  She hears Yanny. Daughter heard Yanny. Son, Laurel.  Same phone, volume.  Different time of day, you hear the upper or lower?  I clearly hear Laurel, have to move right to get Yanny.

 

Again, keeping listening... Hear both.

That's how it was for us right now.

But I was Yanny all the way yesterday.

Who?

Just woke up, played it.  I hear both.  But it first starts with Yanny.

 

Funny... When I asked my wife yesterday...  I didn't tell her what to expect.  She heard Yanny.

 

Like the other thread.  I hear nothing but a mixing of both: "Green needle."

Listen to it long enough, you'll hear both.

 

if i'm held hostage to bother listening long enough?

I hear both at the same time, honestly. It sounds like someone with a deeper tone of voice is speaking Laurel while someone with a higher pitched voice is whispering Yanny.

The top hat scene at 10 is GOAT, concepts haven't improved much in 100 years 

 

The poet Swinburne was infuriated that they couldn't find his top hat as he was leaving his club, so he rushed into the cloak room and set 10 top hats on the floor and jumped onto 3 before his valet informed him he didn't bring his top hat that evening to the club.

It's free.

 

The NYT.  I don't have to pay.  I do surf incognito and clear the cookies.  Does that help?

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

Ok my wife hears Yanny and I hear Laurel.  WTF????  That freaks me out.  

I hear Covefe.  ?

 

 

[Gugny]

My son and I just listened together.

 

He said Yanny.

I said Laurel.

 

Fascinating.

[BillsFan4]

I can hear both words in the original recording. 

 

It just depends on what pitch you focus your ears on. 

 

 

 

[ChevyVanMiller]

Knock, knock...
Who's there?
Yanny!
Laurel Who?

I’ve heard both, it only matters if two hear it at the same time and honestly differ
