My theory is that sensors hear "Laurel" (what is) first, intuitives hear Yanny (what is underneath). 🤔

I heard Yanny. Some are theorizing it has to do with sound frequencies picked up by the brain.

Yeah I heard that too. But my dad is older and has hearing issues so according to those theories he should hear Laurel. but all he heard was Yanny. :shrug:

I don't think it's type related! More related to sound frequencies than abstract type concepts. (I can only hear Yanny.)

Oh shit!! Just started playing with the sound frequency and now I can hear both interchangeably.

Interestingly enough, I played it for my Mom and she hears "Larry".

:D haha I literally thought Laurels were lying for a good part of the day

Heard both. Original heard Yanny until I focused on Laurel and then it just switched.

This is an interesting tool, but I'm afraid I don't entirely get it. I only hear "Yanny" when the sound is incredibly distorted at the very far end of the scale for the tool.

But the clip does not sound like this. I'm sure a lot of sounds can be made to sound different when you electronically alter them using things like this tool. But the base clip without further alteration is "Laurel" and it has been confirmed to actually be this word.

I dunno. I guess I just understood the dress thing because colors can easily appear different in different lighting environments. But here, unless you are distorting the clip yourself, I don't understand why I am supposed to hear something different.

It’s laurel and actually has been scientifically to be proven as laurel. Case closed

I hear both at the same time with Laurel as the dominant overtone and Yanny underneath and in between as it were. Yanny is in the Upside Down. :ohmy:

I can hear both? when one of my friends showed it to me, I initially heard "yanny" and continued to for a solid minute of listening to it but if you say "laurel" a few times in a row while listening to it, it becomes "laurel"

I think that this Laurel business is the cake.

And the cake is a lie.

The recording says yanny and that's all it can and ever will say is yanny.
