Title: Laurel or Yanny? ....Ginger or Mary Ann...gold or blue dress....

Does This Audio Clip Sound Like It's Saying Yanny or Laurel?

It's like the gold/blue dress in audio form

I can't believe it's only been about two years since the Internet was torn apart by whether or not a dress was white and gold or blue and black, but now the players on the power of perception is back, in audio form! Twitter user @CloeCouture posted an audio clip asking if it was saying either Yanny or Laurel, and folks, the Internet is SPLIT.

Some people think it's saying Yanny, some think its saying Laurel and very many users are incredibly enough hearing both Yanny and Laurel. I know I am — it's madness! Some Twitter users are playing with the pitch of the clip to try to isolate the specific sounds, and indeed, Yanny is on a higher pitch than Laurel. The Atlantic has a breakdown of the science of it, but I only know one thing — this is insane, and also, Laurel and Yanny would make a great 1930's comedy duo. Laurel and Yanni, you goofballs!

I saw this on Facebook and they were talking about it on the news.  Supposedly, listeners can hear different sounds/words depending on whether the low frequencies or high frequencies are amplified.

For myself, I heard “yanny.”

The tool on this site will show you when you will hear “yanny” or “laurel.”

I don't hear either one.....maybe clip needs someone who can pronounce the word correctly for us to tell the difference.  I just saw this on my FB feed about yellow and jello.  dumb.

I only heard yannie once and the rest was Laurel. 

But at least I heard both sides to understand where people are coming from.

I’ve read that it could also depend on an individual’s age, people who are older are more likely to hear “laurel” because they can’t hear the higher frequencies of “yanny.”   ???
