Laurel or Yanny?

Laurel.

not sure why this is a thing, but it goes to show the dumbing down of our society when everyone's at odds over what is being said.

it bears absolutely zero importance on anything at all.

Are you drunk right now?

I tried to hear it as Laurel. Could only hear Yanny.

From my phone speaker I hear only yanny. From my car speakers, only Laurel.

It's of course both. Laurel in a low frequency with Yanny overlaid in a high frequency with a bit more going on. Those that hear laurel (including myself) don't have as keen of upper frequency hearing. Which is why a lot of significant others here hear "Yanny".

It's neat, and leads me to wonder if a new hearing test couldn't be made with this technique spanning multiple frequencies and layered words - it would be much harder to fake hearing loss. (Hearing loss is an oft faked workers comp/disability injury) as instead of pretending not to hear a BEEE when they crank it up to ten and wince; you' have to know which freaking word is the correct one to say in advance...

That's a fascinating one. But how would one proof against a false positive of fakery w/ actual inability to hear either?

What?

What about multiple sets with different words but still at the same frequency, as redundancy so the odds of a false positive are reduced with each additional set?

The fact that you responded to this says something very different than what you posted.

Widespread test for further subliminal messaging to steer the masses.

ETA: Laurel in the car on my way to work, Yanny on the Jabra conferencing speaker on my computer

On my desktop machine running through a set of powered speakers with a sub-woofer I hear Laurel, on my little laptop running through crappy little laptop speakers I hear Yammy (not even Yanny).
