i swear i heard laurel the first time and the 2nd time i heard yanny, 15 minutes later...laurel again smh

That's how it was with me.  I x-ed out and refreshed the page and went back in and heard a different word.

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 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.

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.

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.
