Laurel or yanny?

[Time to Sleigh]

The new what colour is the dress debacle. Some people hear laurel some people hear yanny. I definitely hear laurel and I saw the dress as blue and black I asked my wife what the word was and she heard yanny but saw the dress as white and gold. So just wondering what word you hear and what colour you saw the dress :shrug:

[Nicky91]

already a thread for this, but i definitely still hear Yanny

[ChristmasNeeve]

First time I listened I heard Yanny, then I listened on my phone later and heard Laurel, then I listened on my computer the next day and heard Yanny again :skull:

The dress i saw white and gold first but that one definitely depended on the picture and what angle you looked at it from :think:

[ChristmasNeeve]

This thread is slightly different

There's a tool somewhere that you can use to adjust the pitch until you hear the other one. I couldn't hear "Yanny" at all, then used the tool, and now in the original I can alternate between hearing both and it freaks me out so I had to stop :bawling:

This one is definitely more weird than the dress one I think

[Candy Annie Cane]

Has anyone heard this one today??

Green needle or brainstorm

This one is weird, whichever you hear you can make yourself hear the other by thinking of the phrase

Green Needle

[ChristmasNeeve]

Oh wow second time round I thought brain storm and heard that instead :o

[Time to Sleigh]

Yeah the brainstorm one is creepy

Exactly the same as me Niamh...you can switch between the two easily by just thinking what you want to hear

That's like some weird voodoo s**t :worry:

Yeah, I can do that with "Laurel/Yanny" now but I had to see the tool that allows you to clearly hear both first. It's like... once you know what you're listening for, you can make yourself hear it at will, and flip back and forward between the two. It's a really odd feeling though, inside my brain... :worry:

[Nicky91]

green needle is what i hear

You can do that with the laurel/yanny one, you've just got to alternate between focusing on the higher and lower pitches

I heard brainstorm but then tried to hear green needle and heard green storm :laugh:

I tried but I just cannot hear a "y" sound no matter how hard I try

[Blue cat]

I heard yanny and thought the dress looked white and gold.

I heard brainstorm but then tried to hear green needle and heard green storm :laugh:

Omg I thought Brain Needle and Green Storm and got them. D:

That sounds like Laurel and Yearly.

[ChristmasNeeve]

You aren't using the force properly :nono:

I hear this as Green Needle clear as day, not even close to brainstorm even when I tried to hear it as much as I could :think:

What's the Lauren/Yanny one? I haven't heard about it. But omg the dress thing from a long time ago got so exhausting :joker:

[JerseyWins]

^ Tbf it kinda sounds more like brain needle than green needle

[Time to Sleigh]

I still only hear laurel I wonder why I can't hear yanny? :shrug:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

All I heard was a God like voice telling me to drink whisky and wine tonight


so I will do that from 6pm

:worry:


tbh i hear that every night

What do you hear?
I hear Yanny.

[JerseyWins]

"Yammy" :joker:

[ChristmasNeeve]

I can only get that other one to say Brain Needle now no matter how much I think Brain Storm

[user104658]

That sounds like Laurel and Yearly.

It sounds like "Yanny" in an American accent or "Yearly" in an RP English accent.

It actually sounds like the "talking clock" guy you used to be able to call on a landline :joker:. Does that still exist?

[JerseyWins]

This actually creeps me out. That clip sounds EXACTLY like "Yammy" I'm wondering how people would hear anything other than the "y" sounds at the beginning and end of the word. Although it's definitely not even "Yanny" for me either, I hear an "m" sound for sure not an "n" :joker:

[Christmas Dynasnow]

i genuinely hear Laurel and Yanny and dont understand what its about

[ChristmasNeeve]

That's what I was thinking yesterday when I listened to it in work, then I went home to play it for my kids and all I could hear was Laurel in a really low voice, kind of like Rick saying Carl from The walking dead :laugh: I couldn't believe it, it was weird

:joker: I tried it without headphones and I still only hear yammy. I just gave it a listen on my cell phone too and yeah it's always yammy for me :think:

I don't know, maybe it was because it was later in the day and I was tired or something so my hearing was worse then? Apparently hearing Yanny means you have better hearing :laugh:

Try concentrating on the 'deeper' sounding part of the clip, 'laurel' is said in a lower voice than the much higher 'yanny/yammy'

[SoberLikeGizmo]

Laurel and brainstorm as clear as day. No idea how people hear yanny or green needle

[JerseyWins]

Laurel and brainstorm as clear as day. No idea how people hear yanny or green needle
Lmao literally the opposite for me :skull:


Well I just listened again after a long wait and my conclusion is Brain Needle & Yammy

[Calderyon]

Laurel obviously.

[Calderyon]

The other one: I can hear both Brainstorm and Green needle.

[Calderyon]

How anyone can hear Yanny is odd.

[Shaun]

I think I need therapy because the hatred I feel whenever I see this on social media is palpable. Gives me that ****ing blue dress flashbacks.

[bots]

this is why everyone has such different musical preferences

[ChristmasNeeve]

this is why everyone has such different musical preferencesHaha maybe so

[JerseyWins]

this is why everyone has such different musical preferences
:joker: :joker:

So THIS is why Ross likes that Paloma singer so much

[The Grinch]

I heard brainstorm but then tried to hear green needle and heard green storm :laugh:

My top I heard Green Storm.

[Marsh.]

Hilarious but also explains how people can hear very different things. :joker:

[GiRTh]

Yanny

[Ross.]

:joker: :joker:

So THIS is why Ross likes that Paloma singer so much

Shut up bitch!

[Withano]

I had absolutely no idea what this was. Only saw memes on it, and assumed it was a feud between two twitter celebrities or something haha. So inevitably I avoided that... until now.

Definitely Laurel.

[Ashsleigh]

By the looks of things, it's a lot easier for someone who mainly hears Yanny to also hear Laurel, than for someone who mainly hears Laurel to also hear Yanny. It's interesting.

[Time to Sleigh]

The main reason I set this thread up was to see if those who hear yanny or yammy see a white and gold dress so far to see who i have asked do so their is definitely a connection there

[Withano]

Oh, Laurel and white and gold and green needle, and i cant make any of them switch unlike others who seem to be able to

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

The green needle one is sf creepy :worry:

Omg :joker:

[JerseyWins]

OMGGGG I heard this as Laurel on the TV after these baseball commentators were talking about it and played the audio (which I'm not even watching but I heard that in the background)

So I came back in here and it's ****ing LAUREL NOW!

That's ****ed up :skull: Honestly I think the audio just changes or something :joker:

[JerseyWins]

Ahhh this is extra ****ed up now..... I tried really hard to hear Yanny again and it just suddenly switched to "Yammy" again!!! :skull: :skull: :skull:

Also am I the only one who hears it as "Yammy"??? It's literally never an n sound for me at all, clear m sound when I hear yanny.

[JerseyWins]

Lmaoooooo I think I beat the system... I literally hear BOTH being said at the same time now.

It's actually freaky now when you hear both at once :skull: But I guess this kind of explains how people are hearing two different things... both words are actually being said but they blend together somehow?

I was thinking the audio changes as well when I heard Laurel on my phone but four of us were listening to the same thing and 2 of us heard Laurel and the other 2 heard Yanny :shocked:
