I guess this is a social media thing making the rounds. It shouldn't be, because if you don't hear Laurel you're a fucking alien. 

 

Laurel, 100%. 

Although I have heard that if you change the pitch, you might hear it differently. 

Sounds like “yarry” at first, but if I focus on the lower frequencies I can clearly hear Laurel. Couldn’t hear it in a way that was Yanni.

Yanny on both phone speakers and laptop speakers.  No hint of laurel.

Laurel, without a hint of Yanni. Who comes up with this shit? Wives who say we dont listen?

Laurel.  I've heard it several times and Laurel is what I hear.  Sports show this morning was goin g off on this topic.

The wife and I listened to it together on my phone yesterday. I heard Yanny and she heard Laurel. Did it twice.

You mofo's need Jesus if you hear Yanny.  Yanny?????  It's only Laurel and there is no other option.

Laurel, can't hear Yanni despite how hard I try, even with all the pitch shifting and EQ adjustments. Is this a speaker quality issue or hearing loss issue or some kind of brain thing?

Anyone who says Yanny is just looking for attention and trying to be different. 

lol definitely hear Yanni

Or they're just complete idiots, but who knows why people hear different things really.

My wife never seems to hear the actual words coming out of my mouth, she hears what she wants to hear.

My 20 y.o. daughter hears "jelly."

 

No pics for you pervs.

 

I clearly hear "Laurel," but then again, I'm normal.

This right here.  Will give it another shot at work with my headphones on.  

All I hear is yanny. I don’t like the way it sounds either. Creeps me out.

the first time i heard YArrel.  every subsequent time it's laurel.  i can't even hear yanny when i try to now.

I first heard it on a FB linked clip (it had an orange background) and I clearly heard “Laurel” in a deep male voice, every time. Played for the missus (I didn’t tell her what the choices were) and she heard, “Yangy?”  When I mentioned Laurel, she said no way. She later played it on her iPad and I heard  “Yammy.” Since then, I mostly hear “Yammy,” never “Yanny.”

Theres a Tweet our there where a guy changes the pitch or tone, and posted five variations. I can’t remember exactly what he tweaked, but by doing so, you hear either Laurel or Yanny/Yammy pretty clearly.

Scroll down to Steve Pomeroy’s tweet with links to pitch changes: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/05/dont-rest-on-your-laurels/560483/

It’s not speaker quality. My wife played it from her phone last night. Both listening to the same source, and me not knowing what I was supposed to be hearing-I heard Laurel, she heard Yanny.

She does have some hearing loss, so that’s an interesting suggestion.

Astros need to jump on this ASAP

 

is it Yuli

or

Gurriel?

Yanny on both phone speakers and laptop speakers.  No hint of laurel.

I was in your mom's yanni last night.

She's 80.

God bless you...

On phone, 100% laurel.  on computer, 100% yanni. 

Heard this on the radio on the drive to work this morning and it was 100% Laurel.  On the computer now 100% Yanni. 

Yanni only. I've listed to it on TV this morning and the link posted on FB through laptop speaker.

It's almost as if your age and other factors determine how well you can hear certain pitches and frequencies!!! This kind of shit pisses me off because it reminds me how uneducated people are wrt to basic science (not necessarily here but all over social media for sure).

Ignore the stupid Aggy hat,

 

Also I only hear Yanny but I've suspected I'm a little hard of hearing.

I heard vagina....

Srsly, laurel, through 4 different speakers, 2 different sets of ear buds and 2 phones.

Full disclosure: very hard of hearing.
