My son was doing that, and I heard Gary.
Listening to it now I hear "Yanny'

I hear Laurel.

I have yet to listen to this thing, and probably never will. I don't understand why these sorts of things become so popular.

Why don't you just switch bodies with a 70 yr old and be done with it? you can wear an ascot, sip sherry and attend salons.

As long as it comes with the financial security of the Boomer generation, I'm all for it.

I honestly have no clue how anyone gets Yanny out of that clip.

Me either...until last night when my wife played it on her phone.
I heard Yanni (actually more like "yammy") from across the room. My daughter heard the same from the next room. My wife and our daughter's fiance hear "Laurel" from right where the phone was.
I didn't even hear an "L" sound at all.
When I got closer I heard Laurel and so did my daughter.
Easy explanation for it.

Sob, I just a made a thread on this in Klotsch
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - BmorePat87 - 05-17-2018
I'm from the city of Laurel, so it's Laurel.
In reality, it was a recording of the word "Laurel", but transmitted through bad speakers, so both sounds are present, it's just a matter of which pitch your ears pick up on.

I feel the same way about anyone hearing "Laurel".
That's a strange effect.

It's a frequency thing.

Yeah. Still strange.
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Bengalzona - 05-17-2018
Yanny.
After being married for quite awhile, I tend to tune out high-pitched noises.
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Bengalzona - 05-17-2018
I going to make a video where I say "laurel" and another where I say "yanni" and start disseminating them across the internet just to see what people say.

Now i know why I like you.
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Nebuchadnezzar - 05-17-2018
I hear laurel but I have hearing damage and can't pick up on high frequency sounds.
I have the constant sound of cicadas in my ears, a constant buzzing that never goes away. Not from loud music or machinery but from an auto accident and it sucks!
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Benton - 05-17-2018
The kids and I heard "yimmy" (yeah, not an option); the wife heard "laurel."
Soooo... we all made fun of her
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Goalpost - 05-17-2018
I hear Yanny. I really try to make myself hear Laurel but cant.
RE: Another issue to divide the forum - Arturo Bandini - 05-17-2018
Yanny ??
Laurel all the way !
This is definitely strange.
