It's Laurel

It actually said :

"Most likely the original recording was 'Laurel,'" he said.

So he's also guessing :idc:

[AnnieK]

I can't understand how anyone can hear an "L" sound :laugh:

Yeah I can't hear a "y" sound. But the girl i am working with can only hear y and no l. I think this is why when I am singing in the office I get things thrown at me, they all can't hear properly!! :laugh:

sorry you're all deaf x

He said you might hear Laurel in high Feq.

[Ashley.]

It's a low quality recording of somebody pronouncing the name Laurel, but those with better hearing (can hear higher frequencies) hear Yanny. So at least those hearing Yanny can admit to having better hearing, whereas they can't admit to being right. :hee:

[Alf]

Yanny is a girls name :hee:

https://www.babycenter.com/baby-names-yanny-440505.htmI've never heard of anybody called Yanny before, however, I have met a few fanny's in my time.

Too much information Alfred :shocked:

[Ashley.]

wtf, i don't understand this at all :conf:

We did it in a Science lesson once when I was at school. Our teacher would slowly raise the frequency of a recording and we'd all put our hands down when we could no longer hear it, and everyone put their hands down at different times.

[bots]

what it basically means is that those with better hearing will hear yanny, those with not so good hearing will hear laurel

[AnnieK]

Jesus, there's no hope for me, I can't see for **** without glasses or contacts and now apparently my hearing is failing!! Someone shoot me now :laugh:

[Alf]

Jesus, there's no hope for me, I can't see for **** without glasses or contacts and now apparently my hearing is failing!! Someone shoot me now :laugh:Quick! who's got a gun?

[Nicky91]

Quick! who's got a gun?

no, this hurts your chances in ML, my mate

[Niamh.]

what it basically means is that those with better hearing will hear yanny, those with not so good hearing will hear laurel

I thought it would be the opposite way round :suspect:

[Niamh.]

no, this hurts your chances in ML, my mate

Yes Alf, stop trying to shoot Annie :nono:

[Alf]

no, this hurts your chances in ML, my mateYou better have voted for me Nicky? or me and you are finished.

[Nicky91]

You better have voted for me Nicky? or me and you are finished.

:worry:

[AnnieK]

Quick! who's got a gun?

no, this hurts your chances in ML, my mate

Yes Alf, stop trying to shoot Annie :nono:

:joker:

[smudgie]

Yanny.
My first real crush was a lad called Janny.....pronounced Yanny.:blush:

[Gusto Brunt]

Only laurel

[LukeB]

I hear Laurel now...wth? Are they messing with our heads

[montblanc]

i heard both it kept switching back and forth :joker:

so weird

[bots]

I thought it would be the opposite way round :suspect:

nope, as you get older and your hearing deteriorates you hear less high frequencies. They have whistles for controlling kids that really annoys them that adults can't hear :laugh:

[Glenn.]

Bye I heard yanny on the radio earlier but now hear Laurel

[Niamh.]

nope, as you get older and your hearing deteriorates you hear less high frequencies. They have whistles for controlling kids that really annoys them that adults can't hear [emoji23]Yes that's why I thought those with better hearing would hear Laurel not Yanny

[bots]

Yes that's why I thought those with better hearing would hear Laurel not Yanny

yanni has the higher frequencies in it, laurel is what hear when it doesnt have high frequency in it.

[Ashley.]

Yes that's why I thought those with better hearing would hear Laurel not Yanny

No because if you play this clipping in a high frequency, it'd sound like Yanny. Like that video that Underscore posted, in low frequency you can hear Laurel pretty clearly (well, more clearly if you're right. :smug:)

[Niamh.]

Oh my god, I just went to play the video for my kids and suddenly I'll I can hear is laurel, that's ****ed up [emoji43]

[Smithy]

Yanny, how are you hearing laurel :oh:

[Glenn.]

Yanny, how are you hearing laurel :oh:

How are you not!!!

[Glenn.]

I can’t even hear yanny anymore

[bots]

Oh my god, I just went to play the video for my kids and suddenly I'll I can hear is laurel, that's ****ed up [emoji43]

probably because you are more tired, or more relaxed and not concentrating so much or you are playing it on a crap speaker with no treble :laugh:

[Niamh.]

probably because you are more tired, or more relaxed and not concentrating so much or you are playing it on a crap speaker with no treble [emoji23]I played it on my work pc earlier when I heard Yanny and I just played it on my phone there

[RileyH]

brain overload it was after that lesson i guess :joker: :joker:

[andybigbro]

Laurel :worry:

[Epic.]

I hear Yanny with the el from Laurel at the end :laugh:

[Epic.]

Wtf I was just listening to it and heard Laurel for the first time but then after five seconds it changed back to Yanny :skull:

[Jack_]

It's both, if you concentrate hard enough you should be able to get your brain to focus on the other one mid-listening

Just focus on the deeper/higher frequency

[Niamh.]

Wtf I was just listening to it and heard Laurel for the first time but then after five seconds it changed back to Yanny :skull:

I hear Yanny yesterday when I listened to it on this computer, but then later I played it on my phone and I heard Laurel so i was thinking it must be my speakers but me and my son heard Laurel but gav and my daughter heard Yanny. I hear yanny now again on my work computer, its so weird
