    I hear Laurel loud and clear. If you slow it down, which they did on my local radio station, I hear Yanny.

    Laurel is said almost a split second before Yanny. As Laurel ends, Yanny begins. That overlap is likely why only one is heard by most people.

    Oohhh I gotta see what I hear when it slows down then, since I clearly hear Yanny.

    The local radio show DJs heard Yanny the night before when they listened on their laptop speakers at home, but when they played it in the studio this morning, they all heard Laurel. I don't hear both. I hear either one or the other.

    It’s clearly Laurel. It’s impossible to hear anything else.

    I hear Yanny on the original, but I can hear Laurel in some of pitch up shifts in Punk's post.

    BBC News had the clip on earlier and I heard Yanny on the TV as well.

    So, does it require a pitch change to hear Yanny? Because I keep hearing people say that they heard Yanny after a pitch change or a speed change? Anyway, I hear Laurel and I can't even begin to comprehend how someone hears Yanny.

    Also, I think the Laurel hearers are technically correct because Yanny is not a ******* word that anyone had ever heard before, so why the **** would a robot be saying it?

    I wonder if it's an age-related hearing thing. I birdwatch and the bird books have examples of birdsong here (UK) that older watchers can't hear due to upper level frequency loss.

    maybe the robot is a fan of the dulcet tones, and humans are simply spelling it wrong.

    Ok but he's also pronounced "Yah-nee", not Yanny.

    So, what does it all mean if you hear one and not the other. Is it the aural equivalent of the sunglasses from They Live? Can I not Kick *** and chew bubblegum if I am "improperly" hearing it?

    See, I have no idea how anyone hears Laurel. I can only hear Yanny unless it's pitch-shifted.

    It definitely wasn’t gibberish.

    So. This is all to do with what pitch your particular device is at. So people saying it’s defnitely one thing or the other really are all about the ego.

    I hear Laurel, on a couple of the pitch change ones it sounds like something that's not Laurel but not Yanny either.
