May 16, 20187 yr Laurel is very clear on my laptop with headphones. 100% Yanni is equally clear on my phone through speaker. 100%
May 16, 20187 yr Yanny. Tried a few times and heard yanny each time. Tried an hour later, still yanny as a motherfucker.
May 16, 20187 yr Both my kids and wife hear yanni. They are all fucked in the head. All I hear is You keep hearing the sheriff is near?
May 16, 20187 yr its Laurel it was lifted from Dictionary.com's pronunciation recording for the word "Laurel"
May 16, 20187 yr went to my laptop, heard yanny...went to phone heard laurel, back to laptop heard laurel. glad im still normal
May 16, 20187 yr They played it on the news this morning and I heard one (yanni I think) and my wife turned on the blender while they were repeating it and i heard the other while the blender was running.

When she turns on the blender do you piss yourself and forget who you are for a half hour or so?

You need a hardy slap to the head.... know yer phrasing sir, know yer phrasing or is intentional obtuseness the game.....
May 16, 20187 yr I have some low frequency hearing loss and I hear Laurel. My dad has high-frequency hearing loss and he hears Yanny.
May 16, 20187 yr I hear both at the same time. Sounds like a high pitch voice and a low pitch voice talking over each other. On a PC with surround sound headphones.

I hear Yanny no matter how I listen to it. I even tried this and hear Yanny no matter how I change the slider on laptop or desktop: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html#k=0.090
May 16, 20187 yr Well, those monitors cost less than a lot of shaggy surly wristwatches, so not really.

May 16, 20187 yr I hear Yanny because that's what it is and anybody who says it isn't is a lying liar possessed by demons.

I hear them both now, now that i know what I'm supposed to be listening for, but still yanni on top.

May 16, 20187 yr Mine hears "Larry".Tried it again in a different environment (less ambient noise) and it went with Laurel

Do you like those shows where the guy in the mask reveals how the magic tricks are done? Me either. It's Yanny Edited May 16, 20187 yr by El Diablo
May 17, 20187 yr damn them for fucking with the spaghetti in my skull. this morning it was obviously yanny. tonight, it's clearly laurel. 🤔
May 17, 20187 yr I hear laurel but did a test on my 5 year old and he heard yanny. I think it has to do with age/ear damage and the pitch thing everyone has already stated.
May 17, 20187 yr Is this the topic were idiots post their opinions on something idiotic? I am in. Hehe.
May 17, 20187 yr It’s Laurel. The creator admitted it.This goes back to what I was saying earlier. Anyone who didn't say Laurel was full of shit and looking for attention. They heard it clearly being Laurel but went with the other option for the sake of going against the grain. And then being fucking lame by saying it was because of their great hearing and superior speakers and headphones lmao. Dumb assess.

This is what I heard. I also heard it before knowing what I was choosing between, so I had no prior bias. If I remember correctly, you are a musician so this actually makes more sense to me because your ears, much like mine, are much more sensitive to tone than the average human.

May 17, 20187 yr 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, The nerd video explains it. Pitch changes on different devices I guess and people hear the pitch different. I heard no L sound in real time at first, just a y (more like yarry than yanny) but I heard the laurel at the higher pitch. Went back to the original and heard just regular laurel. Just fucking weird but I guess it’s science.
May 17, 20187 yr As I was laying in bed last night with the TV on, I swear I heard Yes......Yes. Or maybe my wife was fingerbanging herself.
May 17, 20187 yr Author Probably posted earlier - don't care. The slider below finally helped me hear yanny. Its funny though. If I slide it gradually I have to get damn near off the timeline to the right before I can hear it. But if I jump to say the 2nd tick to the right from the center, I can hear yanny right away. Still, forever and always #TeamLaurel and #TeamWinona https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html#k=0.090
