Can someone explain where this whole debate is coming from?
-
If you click the thing it says either laurel or yanny. They claim based on personality or something you will hear something different. Remember the dress everybody argued about what color it was a few years ago. I have clicked on that thing a couple times and have heard something different each time. It is set up that way. Like the codes we have to do to prove we are human. The thing is set up to say one or the other. Sometimes it says Laurel and sometimes it says Yanny. But people are foolish and are arguing over this like something foolish. You hear what you hear and if you click it again later you will likely hear the other. Just something to make people argue on the internet.
-
It is based on the pitch by which ear hear. It is funny because I hear Laurel distinctly and my wife hears yanni just as distinctly. Pretty amazing.
-
I listened to the audio clips at different pitches and more/less bass, and I've never heard yanny. One with a lot of bass didn't sound like either word to me.
-
It's another one of those fun little internet games. Husband and I listened at the same time, several times. He always heard Laurel and I always heard Yanny. It's been fun. Now we can move onto the next internet quiz.
-
Oh okay, thanks....I have heard about it and saw the picture, but wasn't quite sure the origin or what it's about.
-
The actual audio soundbite is for Laurel on vocabulary.com.
-
i swear i heard laurel the first time and the 2nd time i heard yanny, 15 minutes later...laurel again smh
-
I hear yanny.
-
I've listened on multiple devices and all I hear is laurel
-
I too heard Laurel. Another time I heard nothing but chipmunk voices. I listened .. .clicked what I heard and thought, "well okay." Then this Laurel Yanni thing came up again in another survey site... and now here. It amazes me how these little things become a social conversation among people.
-
I heard laurel
-
a friend came over and they were talking about it on the news, I was standing beside her, and she her laurel I heard yanny
I have listened to it multiple times again, and only hear yanny
-
no, and it's yanny

That is foolish. The audio is saying one or the other. You can't hear something different. I can sit there and click play over and over and eventually it will change to the other word. Unless maybe they are using like the subliminal messaging and saying both words at the same time so still one time you will hear one word and the next time you will hear the other word.

That's how it was with me. I x-ed out and refreshed the page and went back in and heard a different word.
-
I got a 1 minute survey for 25 cents on it yesterday....that's all I care about it.... :party:
-
no, and it's yanny
lol. You are doing exactly what the makers of this wants you to do. Telling everyone else they are wrong because what YOU heard is the correct word. It says BOTH words. It is just something stupid to make people fight. And the sad part is half the country falls for it.
We need to worry about more important things are stand together instead of fighting over something as stupid as which word you heard THIS time when you listened to the audio clip.
-
I think that was so stupid, it's just like that blue or black stripped dress. Oh well what do I know?
-

I hadn't saw a survey about it. lol. I saw it on twitter and a few other places and finally clicked to read what it was.
-
i agree this is another one of those that it depends on what you see or hear like the dress color. I hear laurel but it doesnt matter
-
It is clearly "Laurel."
I do not understand how anyone can confuse Yanny and Laurel. They are not even remotely the same word.
-
Geeesh , i got no clue what this all about, i never gave a rip about that dress deal, most likely why this isn't in my wheel house, I have two good ears and that's all that matters to me about what i hear.
-
Those things are sooo dumb.
-
I agree. It is really silly, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Some have said there is a higher voice that says "yanny," yet, I for the life of me, cannot hear it at all.
They traced the original file back to a site that gives correct pronunciations, and the original word is actually "Laurel."
I am wondering, if someone added something to file to cause all of this controversy.
I guess if we focus on this, we don't notice the world imploding around us.
:cat: :dog:

And it is clearly Yanny. I don't know how anyone can confuse that people hear different words because it says something different every time. I have heard both. It has nothing to do with being confused. It is a mind game that people are too stupid to see if being played on them.

It's the same thing. With the dress I saw one color and when I refreshed the page a couple of times it would change to the other color. So it had nothing to do with the way your eyes are or your perception. It had everything to do with which one it showed you at the time. What I can't understand is after it has been explained to people that it is showing you two different pictures and that the audio thing is saying two different things they still can't accept that and still want to fight about it on the internet with people they do not even know. LOL
But, stupid stuff like this distracts people from the real problems going on in the world and that is what they want to happen.
-
I hear the word yanny.
-
OK I was wondering the same thing and that sounds like the biggest waste of time!! Glad someone posted about this cause now I know. Got much better things to do...lol

NRA Joe:
Is that Vincent D'Onofrio in your photo?
-
kinda creepy. But I heard laurel.
:rose:

It is funny because the actual 'official, original' clip is of a man's voice and he is clearly saying Laurel, which the actual creator of the clip, the man, claims he is saying Laurel. The debate comes in because the clip has been circulated so many times it has been 'distorted' to a hire pitch. In this clip, which I personally heard first, and the one most news broadcasts use, is of an elderly woman's sounding voice and she is saying Yanni. "Experts" argue the same point, that those with a 'younger' or 'higher' pitched eardrum will hear the higher sounds thus they hear Yanni. Those with "older" or "lower" in-tuned eardrums will hear Laurel. If one listens to the original male clip it never sounds like Yanni. No matter how many times you listen and no matter what you are using to listen. The clip that has been distorted to sound like an elderly female (which is the main clip in circulation right now) sounds like Yanni or a weird facsimile thus the debate is sparked.
-
I don't see what all the hype is all about, it really is a waste of time and people that make this stuff up get recognition for it. They are smart! lol
-
I have heard it a couple of times and actually what I hear really sounds more like YAMMY to me, but I have listened and have never heard Laurel. My boyfriends also says he hears Yanni, so I guess it's not a male/female thing.

This doesn't even make sense. If it had to do with your eardrum then you would hear the same thing every time. I heard both and both were in the same voice. Either way who ever made the clip is getting exactly what they want. lol

Haven't seen or heard about this survey.

I only hear LAUREL. I went to pages that did adjust the bass and settings, but still can only hear Laurel.
-
I only ever heard laurel and I don't get how anyone could be hearing anything else.
-
It is not a trick. It is real. Sitting in the same room; five of us in total three of us heard laurel and two heard yanni. I heard laurel over and over and over (it was playing in a continuous loop and not changing). My wife went into the other room and up a half flight of stairs to switch out the laundry. It changed from laurel to yanni for her when she walked into the other room, but it continued as laurel for me.
No trick. All about perception pitch and how your brain decodes the sound.
-
I listened to it closely and I heard the following "I AM GROOT" 0_0 lol
-
Laurel all the way.

We all listened to it at the same exact time at work. Half of us heard yanny, the other half laurel. It is definitely a pitch thing from everything I have read.
-
Sounded very clearly like Laurel to me. Didn't even sound remotely like Yanny.
-
I swear I heard Yanny but all I hear is Laurel now.
