Yanny or Laurel?

So the latest viral "Is this Blue or Gold" illusion that shows we cant actually trust our senses is dividing the internet, but this time it's sound

That to me is just Yanny, absolutely no doubt whatsoever that is Yanny, it is not even close to Laurel and they are not even phonetically similar so I don't see how it can be Laurel, you must all be trolling me

An interesting thing said on the news last night was with this one, most people can only hear one or the other and not change to hear the different sound, unlike the colour, or visual illusions where you can usually 'force' yourself to see the other option.

I hear Laurel from my Pixel 2XL and Yanny from my wife's iPhone, both playing this vid on Youtube.

Interesting video, I will have to try on different devices.....but even in that video when he was changing the frequencies, I still heard Yanny both times!

I hear 'Yammy' weirdly, on every speaker/headphones I have.

I've just heard "Yammy" on a co-workers phone!

i hear both, bite me.

I heard yanny to start with but can clearly hear laurel when you focus on the deeper notes.

helps quite a lot

Wow, yes that does it. I still hear Yanny on the left hand wave, but take out the high frequency part and I hear Laurel as clear as day, and when it's just the high frequency I hear Yammy

For me to hear Yanny I have to kill almost the entire frequency range and the end Y only comes from the sweep of general noise as the recording fades out at the end - the video TwsT posted in the bit where they cut out the lower frequencies sounds more like Yamm (with a slight ee at the end) to me - need to cut out more to get a Y at the end.

Yea, really good video to show the differences

At least I now have an excuse for singing all the wrong lyrics to songs all these years.....
