    CBS News said it was originally recorded as “Laurel” for a vocabulary website and, almost immediately, some of those listening to it heard “Yanny” and others heard “Laurel”. It depends on the playback mechanism, background noise, and whether you hear predominately more bass (Laurel), or less (Yanny). Basically, it’s all in how your brain processes it. Actually, whenever I listen to it I hear Yammy, but, then again, I‘ve worked around jet engines for forty years, so I’m lucky to hear anything.

    I heard Yanny on the tv this morning and on the link you posted . But a local radio station played it a lot today and it was laurel clear as can be.
    So I would have to agree on the playback method does affect it

    Couldn't find a play button in the link you posted but found it on YT;



    All I heard was Yanny, couldn't even trick myself into hearing Laurel.

    Must of been too many Ted Nugent New Year's Eve concerts I went to as well as AC/DC, Metallica, Alice Copper and so on concerts I've been too!:confused:

    Along with working in loud factory environments for WAY to long without ear plugs.o_O

    What would it sound like if we played it backwards on a phonograph?
    You know, some old-fashioned back masking?!?!?

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    I heard "Laurel". What happened to Hardy? Now Laurel and Yanny? Could be funny.

    Wife and I both hear "Laurel", but I heard a version today slowed (pitched down) to 30% and I heard yanni. Interesting it's pitch related. I'd like to see the science since I have measured hearing damage.

    Yes, it has been all over the national news on TV. You would think that there was something more important to cover than this!

    I sometime watch news in Spanish and get stuck on a channel called nhk from Japan that covers world news and they stuff I hear and learn on those channels are so cool and informative. The news here in America is really watered down or one sided. My wife all ways makes fun of me because I watch the news in Japan but they speak real good English and cover even American topics more in-depth.
