All I can hear is Laurel but it baffles me how some can only hear Yanny...

I hear Yanny and couldn't hear Laurel for the life of me! Weird.

Blue dress . . . Am I doing this right?

 

[riceandpho]

are we suppose to hear who is talking? just got off of work and we were talking about this, most people hear the word "laurel".

Listened on a co-worker's phone, heard Yanni loud and clear while someone standing next to me heard Laurel. Couldn't figure out how we were hearing different things.

Driving home after work, they played it on the radio, heard Laurel, and coulnd't figure out how I was hearing Yanni earlier.

Try listening on different devices/sources, seems to make a difference.

I hear Yanny. I bet you'd see more consistency on an answer based on age, given how you typically lose certain frequencies as you age.

Yanny on iPad Pro and iPhone X. On my Airpods, also Yanny.

I have no idea what you crazy Laurels folks are hearing!

I have yet to hear yanny on any device. Even when people slow/alter/edit it so you can supposedly hear both I still only hear Laurel.

I am at work and can't turn up the sound. Am I too old and out of touch. What the heck are you guy talking about?
