  • What is this Yanny / Laurel Thing?

    I only hear yanny, but they say some people hear laurel, this is strange. What do you hear?

    Laurel.
    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      Laurel clear as day but when it was discussed on TV shows I would hear Yanny

      I'm always still in trouble again

        Gotta be a scam to get page views or something - Laurel clear as day - not even close to Yanny.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          I'm guessing there are two different versions out there just to create confusion.

            It had something to do with the acoustics. If you turned the bass/treble one way you could clearly hear "laurel". Tune it the other way, the consonants were muffled out. All I heard without the consonants was a buzzing sound something like "yayya". Of course, like those who heard supposed demonic messages in rock music played backwards, if you see the words you are supposed to hear written in text before you, you will imagine hearing them in illegible sounds. If you didn't see the printed word "yanny", you wouldn't know to listen for that word.

            Actually, I like his music a lot better.

                Kinda reminds me of the days of "backward masking" where you play the rock record backwards and hear "number 9, number 9, number 9" or "Satan's got you".....

                When you play country & western backwards, the guy quits drinking, gets his girlfriend back, gets his job back, gets his house back...

                  No! We just did this in the lunchroom, we all listened to the same recording at the same time (about 6 times) - three of us clearly heard yanny and two clearly heard laurel. It is nuts...

                    Yeah, gotta be a 'frequency' thing - some people hear frequencies others do not.

                      Like Tass hears dog whistles?

                        No, cause he only hears imaginary dog whistles - not real ones.

                          So the original word was Laurel. The speaker recording I heard was yanny. Its really interesting when you get into the why's and hows of the audio. on the other hand.....its a good waste of 4 seconds that you can't get back.
