Yanny or Laurel?

[PaulStat]

If I play it on my Samsung S7 it's Laurel, if I play it through my Audio Pro it's Yanny

 

[vvalter]

Laurel. Obviously, it's the right answer.

 

[Kronos]

I'm a Laurel man, though in this PC dominated world I accept the existence of Yanny after all I do not want to be accused of being auralphobic.

 

[Minibiker]

I hear Laurel but the missus hears Yanny, We got into a debate over it last night

 

[GreenMint]

100% Yanny, co worker agress, other one hears nothing but Laurel!

 

[Puzzled]

Laurel on both laptop and phone.

 

[Rexxar]

Heard this on the radio yesterday morning ,laurel, same thing on TV that afternoon, yanny, seems dependent on the source

 

[gord]

I'm a Yanny and gf is a Laurel. I'm a Laural on that video when they shift the pitch up.

It can depend on the source, but I've tried with the same phone speaker at work and some people can hear Yanny and some Laurel when listening at the same time.

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

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Laurel. Oh how I loathe these things. How is that even news.

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

 

[TwsT]

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

 

[MrRockliffe]

There are two distinct voices, and it depends heavily on a multitude of factors that ultimately affect the frequency you hear.

Wow...that's a bit of a plot twist. Like the clouds parting....but is it poor speakers or poor ears that cause the difference in perception?

A lot of phones built in speaker(s) have very poor bass response.

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.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Sounds like I'm the extra weird one... I hear both simultaneously using a decent DAC, amp and speakers.

 

[Jambo]

I have heard both on my iPhone speaker.

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

 

[aardvark]

it depends on the device and on your ears as both sounds are playing at the same time - i've heard both.

 

[TwsT]

I think because I listen to headphones a lot and have spent a lot of time listening to whats going on in the background I was able to pick it out but I definitely without a doubt heard yanny first.
