How Jeff how ????? Even my gf right next to me says yanny, how it's totally laurel
 
The clip was made to make people argue, but unlike the dress (which is only one color), both names are present. Send the audio through a low pass filter and you'll hear one word; send it through a high pass filter and you'll hear the other.

Alternatively, play the same audio clip from the same source through different sound systems and you may hear different words depending on the speakers used and the equalizer settings.

I just replayed it and this time all I can hear is laurel.

I was convinced earlier that it was Yanny. I’m using the same device as earlier.

Freaky

No matter what I hear laurel
 
This video explains it fairly well. It also discusses the fact that our ears/hearing change as we age. Some department stores use this fact against young people by playing loud noise, but at frequencies only younger people can hear thus discouraging youth loitering.

 
This is bullshit.
When I listened to it earlier it was 100% Laurel - no yanny at all. Now it's 100% Yanny - no laurel at all. Same link, same device.

Yeah except I'm the exact opposite. All day probably 50 times today it's been yanny. I listened to it on my iPad several times. Just played it again now all I hear is laurel. My wife still hears yanny sitting across the room from me. WHAT....THA....FUCK...
 
a Poll was an obvious necessity (for scientific purposes), so I merged Davin’s discussion (genius thread imho) into a thread where a poll was possible.

Years of car stereo competitions and time spent at the gun range... (ie. exposure to loud noises)....

I hear Laurel (not sure if that's insightful)
 
Poll need a third choice, "heard both".

When I heard this clip the other day for the first time I heard it on 2 different radio shows, back to back (through the same radio/speakers). First show I plainly heard Laurel, second show I plainly heard Yanni. Different soundboard operators/settings.

I also use this fact (and a Dog Whistle app on my phone) against my children when they aren't listening to me.

Unfortunately my wife has the ears of a 13-year-old, so I'm the one whose butt gets kicked if I do it when she's home.
