Laurel or Yanni ?

What's Hot

I'm amazed nobody has a thread on this yet....  so.....



I hear Laurel - clear as a bell.  I cannot understand how anyone can hear 'Yanni' or anything like it !

Mrs Fab hears "Yammy".  I'm baffled.
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    I hear Yanny, my wife hears Laurel.

    People who hear Laurel have something wrong with them and need help.

    Well it’s both isn’t it? It’s a high voice saying Yanny and a low one saying Laurel (or a digital artefact to that effect left over in the recording). I expect as you get older the lower pitch one starts to trump the higher one. 

    This one is brilliant: brainstorm vs green needle

    I heard Laurel ( and it is a recording of someone saying Laurel ) the first day and Yanni the next. 

    Green needle on the other one. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I heard Yanni the first time the phrase played and Laurel for every single other one. Now actively trying to hear Yanni again and its not happening. 
    Pitch shifted up Yanni is crystal clear however. Very strange.

    Laurel on the first one, clear as day.
    That Brainstorm/Green Needle one is a cracker though! Audio only, I can only hear Brainstorm. But then if I look at the words at the same time then I hear whichever word I'm looking at. Weird!!!

    It’s purely a frequency thing. I hear Laurel if hold my phone normally with the speaker facing downwards so the highs aren’t very audible, but I hear both layered over each other if I point the speaker directly at my ear. I assume that if the bass was more rolled off it would start to sound like just Yanny.

    The green needle thing doesn't work at all.. what I hear sometimes matches what I think, but not all the time. I especially concentrated on Green Needle, and still heard brainstorm from time to time.

    Yanniiiii!

    Anecdotal evidence suggests its an age thing. Older ears hear Laurel.

    Or actual evidence as @ICBM has said.. it's a frequency thing.
