Yanny and Laurel don't even sound remotely alike though :think:

I hear Laurel and can't understand how anyone gets Yanny but my colleague in the office only hears Yanny.....

I also saw the dress as both white and gold AND blue and black. Ugh my mind

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

Laurel quite clearly.

It actually said :

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

So he's also guessing :idc:

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:

What is a yanny? what does it mean? why would anybody use it?

Yanny is a girls name :hee:

:laugh2:

or Yummy, Alf when he has made a meat pudding :hee:

He said you might hear Laurel in high Feq.

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:

I've never heard of anybody called Yanny before, however, I have met a few fanny's in my time.
