Re: Laurel or Yanny?
I saw this earlier and haven't got a clue where "Yanny" comes from.
Laurel all the way for me.
Took me back to "Speak and Spell", if anyone is old enough to remember it.

Re: Laurel or Yanny?
I don’t hear either to and find both suggestions amazing.
EDIT: I had heard it on the radio this morning and didn’t hear either.
Just listening now on my phone (on the provided link); Laurel all the way.

Re: Laurel or Yanny?
Apparently those more sensitive to higher frequencies hear “Yanny”. Probably not many young enough for that on here. Slowing the clip down brings it out for most others at some point.

I'm a yanny. It's spooky but try as I might I can't get anything remotely like a laurel.

Yanny, but if I concentrate hard enough aI think I can just about hear a Laurel in the background.

Depends what you're listening on. On radio I hear one, via the TV I hear the other.

Re: Laurel or Yanny?
That tells you about the high frequency performance of your speakers - probably more important than your ear's frequency response judging by the oldies on here hearing 'yanny'.Spencer4 wrote:Depends what you're listening on. On radio I hear one, via the TV I hear the other.

This will help you hear the one you're missing if you can't hear both (or either!)
The following one is even weirder. It says what you're thinking of - either "green needle" or "brainstorm"
