Laurel or Yanny?

I hear Laurel plain as day on the computer. Wife hears Yanni and thinks I'm insane.

When I play it on my phone I hear a combo of both...like Yanel. I probably just need more bourbon.

Could it be playing something different each time you listen to it?

Someone should record the recording and play it back to see what it says then.

And then play it backwards at half speed to see if it's actually devil music.

So while capable of hearing both, they only understand and can say the upper frequency "Yanni" or they have to pretend they can't hear anything, at which the audio tester can crank it up to 120 db and note their flinching. This is much the same reason why the wives think people are crazy for hearing "Laurel", when in fact they hear both.

But, based on the sheer randomness people are experiencing, it may not work. Still... an interesting one to test. Just not me!

But isn't volume going to affect ability to hear a frequency? It's been a while since I did a hearing test, but I seem to recall varying volume levels of the same tones.

With high end gear, it's less likely that high volume is going to favor one or the other.

My kid hears Larry. Think she's hearing both.

yanny on both phone and computer. Trying to hear something else and cant. I remember on the white/blue dress I would see either from time to time.

I would love to turn this into a drinking game. If someone says they heard "Yanny", take a drink. If someone says they heard "Laurel", take a drink. If someone says they hear "both", take 2 drinks.

It's got to be more productive than the discussion of the subject.

I heard Yanny on my computer and made fun of co-workers who heard Laurel. Got home and listened on my phone and heard Laurel.

But the dress is still gold and white.

Have her put her fingers in her ears and listen bet she hears the other

Could it be that you hear the first word that your read when you first look at it? But some hear it differently on different devices. I don't know, but I heard laurel clear as day on my phone. It'll be fun to try this with the kiddos and wife in the morning.

I heard Laurel and I had my 7yr old there with me. He heard Yanny. Did the test 3x and we both were consistent.

dress is blue and black.

I hear yanny clear as day , wife hears laurel.
Now I worked in body shops for 15 years. I been shooting guns / hunting my entire life , without hearing protection more than I’d like to admit.
What type of damage is typically done from that ? Low frequency ?

I think someone mentioned it in the thread already. The high frequencies usually go first.

Odd, since I’m under the impression yanny is the higher freq.

My wife played this for me as were laying in bed one night and my eyes were closed (so I didn't see the suggestions). I said it sounded like "yammy" to me, but she swears she only hears "Laurel". We played it like 20 times from her cell phone speakers. I have a fairly significant case of tinnitus and these days often watch programs on TV with the closed captioning on because the dialog seems so muddled. So I thought my high range hearing was toast.

That was what I was thinking ? Not the first time I’ve been ass backwards lol.
Theres a page on NY times called “we made a tool so you can hear both yanny and laurel “
I slide it to the low side and I hear laurel , slide it to the high side and the wife can finally hear yanny.
ymmv. Lol

My wife brought this to my ear without showing me the words. I hear Yarey. A combination of the two.
I think if you didn’t know what the words you are trying to hear are, you will hear a combination of the two.

My did this the other day and wears hearing aids. With the hearing aid on he heard Laurel, and with them off Yanni

I found this tool also. What I found weird is that once I slide it a certain way and hear the other word, as I slide it the opposite way it takes a long time before I start hearing the other word. For example, with that tool for the first time ever I heard Laurel at the center mark. Then as I slide to the far right I get yammy. Then I have to go almost all the way over to the left again to get back to Laurel, and once I get Laurel I need to go almost all the way to the right again to pick up yammy. I don't know how much is power of suggestion and how much is attributed to what I am actually hearing.

This is damn weird for sure..... I heard Laurel on 9 news this morning, yet a version of Yammi on the laptop in front of me now off Irvings link.


eta: Yanni on the S III.

It’s a distorted “Laurel,” but if an individual has younger ears or better hearing they are more likely to hear “Yanny.”
