ikr?

LIES!

same

This.

I'm trying real hard to hear Laurel and I just don't.

this. i only hear this omg

Lol mte.

But tbh, it all depends on the quality of the speakers you're listening on, and how much bass is present.

I heard Yanny at first and then I turned up my volume and it is so clearly Laurel and I can't hear Yanny again this is fucking me UP

It's more like Yarry to me. I can't hear ANY L noises at all though

Same.

same.

That’s so weird because I hear Laurel and the Ls are over enunciated!

Weird, I was thinking "Lanny"

This.
It's more like for every 2-3 Yarrys there's one subtle Laurel (more like mumble-UREL)

Saame

Same. The longer I listened it became Yanny.

Yeah I hear "yawee"

Laurel all the way tbh.

same How are people hearing Yanny LOL

Agreed! It’s clear as day, too. How is anyone hearing otherwise??

I don't get how anyone could hear Laurel. I'm hearing Yanny clear as day.

I honestly don't get it—I hear a clear "L" sound in the beginning lol.

I think this explains a lot hahaha

The vocal fry of the "Lo" sound in "Laurel" turns it into an "a" as in "apple" sound. Try listening from further away or at lower volumes.

I replayed it and only got Laurel each time.

MTE. People saying that they hear Yanny must be trolling.

Same I played it like three times in a row to hear Yanny and all I hear is Laurel.

Thank you. How is anyone even hearing Yanny?

Yes.

yep

The more I play it, the clearer "Laurel" sounds.

These Yanny people are scaring me.

Um It’s Laurel.
How does L sound like Y?

same because i literally never hear anything resemble 'yanny'

I was gonna post this but didn't know if it would be accepted, lol. I only hear Yanny.

when in doubt, always go for the "celebrities react" angle, lol

I hear Yanny but the N noise is barely there.

Once I heard it with the bass adjusted, then I could hear both 'yanny' and 'laurel' at the same time.

'Yanny' sounds like a higher-pitched froggy voice, 'laurel' sounds like a Barry White robot.

But tbh, I only really hear the 'aurel' part of 'laurel'.

This!
I don't know what this is from, but honestly it's BOTH. Someone over-layed the audio.

Glad I didn't post this exact opinion on the 6th page of this post lmao because MTE.

I hear the opposite! I hear Yanny in Barry White robot voice and Laurel in a higher pitch. Wtf

YES EXACTLY

LOL WHAT.

Yep, lower pitch = Laurel, higher-pitch almost Elmer Fudd esque voice = Yanny.

Weird that some of you heard "yanny" or "laurel" when I heard "Mary-Louise Parker needs another cable series."

lmao I had to retweet that

omgfggggg

lmao

Ha! I was going to add him, but wasn't sure if he'd be accepted since I was just going to qualify him as a podcast host. Then again, if Big Brother and MTV reality show people can make it, then the bar is low

but what does our bb think? he's prob. like:

promote ha. i loved Weeds. <3

YES! She was so hot on Weeds.

Oh no, this is blue/black white/gold dress all over again. I actually first heard a nasally "Yanny", then I listened for "Laurel" and couldn't unhear it.

Exactly the same. The Yanny is some frog sounding voice and the Laurel is all proper sounding

whaaat? Laurel is all bass-y and Frog-like for me, and Yanny was normal

My exact experience. "Yanny" was a little weird, but I heard it that way a few times before it shifted to Laurel and stuck there. There was definitely an effect of knowing that it was possible to here Laurel. I wonder if my perception would have flipped if I hadn't been told the options up-front.

The same happened to me!

WTF is this witchcraft!

Same!

I'm pretty sure this is a government experiment to see if they can make us hear "Go eat candy" & then "Line up for chip implant or death"

same. i can't hear yanny anymore.

same...

I hear both at the same time. Trippy af.

And then I listened to it on my phone and only heard Laurel.

Laurel.

Yanny

Not again. I rebuke it.

haha. honestly tho that was my attitude coming into this post.

then a cruel twist of fate, i start hearing both. just a big ol' middle finger to me for trying it. lmao.

I only hear Yanny.
