Yanny or Laurel?

[Hepar]

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?

I'm predicting that when you get a chance to listen to it with sounds, that you'll hear Yanny.

This is the type of bs that shows how ignorant our society is.

Apparently it's actually Laurel. It was a recording for Vocabulary.com or something like that.

Interesting though that people hear such drastically different things from the same sound.

Heres a slider that lets you switch between hearing either. Very weird. If I move it about three-fifths of the way towards yanny I can easily switch between hearing either.

For Me it transitions to both just shy of one full bar toward Yanny from the center. Normally hear Laurel.

I always hear Laurel. Only heard Yanny once when I listened to the version where they reduce bass level.
