FTR, you're a freak if you hear yanny

[hikesalot]

My family was just listening to this. My kids and I clearly hear Yanny and my husband clearly hears Laurel. We all think each other is crazy.

Laurel

[Soups]

Was yanny at first then it goes to Laurel. The moment when it does is really weird. I had to focus on looking at Laurel and it did it.

The other thing is now that I've heard Laurel I have not been able to hear yanny again. I've gone back like three times and it's always laurel. So weird.

[gavinski91]

I can hear them both. Yanny is a high voice, Laurel is a low, croaky voice. If you can't hear the Yanny at all, you're an old.

[iceman]

All I can hear is yanny, I listened to it like 20 times.

[UTpowder]

Both the wife and I can hear both but it takes some effort for me to here Yanny.

[ghosthop]

I only hear Laurel
I haven't thought too hard about it

[St. Jerry]

Jeezus, it was only Yanny last night but it's only Laurel this morning.

Science nerds, what's going on here?

[riser4]

Wife heard 'Morril'. I heard Laurel. There's a click or something where I suppose it is trying to say Yanny. And FTR, I am a freak, but clearly not that kind of freak.

Yanny through laptop speakers, laurel through headphones. Bass response/frequency issue?

[Svengali]

Yanny is high frequency, Laurel is low freq. they are over-lapped, which one you hear is typically an age thing. As one ages, they lose the ability to hear high frequencies. Iceman may have stumbled across the fountain of yutes....

I’m 53 and have been to a shit-ton of concerts. It’s Yanny, clear as day.

Is it the LSD?

[riser4]

Middle kid hears something approximating Yanny. He's definitely a freak. Hates loud noise, finds it painful. He's known for 'bionic hearing'. Oldest kid hears Laurel.

Anyone else see Cloe Couture and hear it as Chloe Couture?

Yanny through laptop speakers, laurel through headphones. Bass response/frequency issue?

Same. Last night on my phone, Yanny all the way. I figured you Laurel people were ganging up to fuck with everyone.

Today on my headphones, only Laurel.

Seem to remember an article about shop keepers in the UK using a device based on this idea to irritate younger people loitering around their shops.

[GeezerSteve]

yanny every time 20 times

FWIW, I'm single sided deaf, no right inner ear, nerve snipped. I may well have heard both before surgery

[irul&ublo]

Meh...he’s no Zamfir
