Your Turn

At this point, I pretty much think anyone who says Yanny is just messing around, but give it a listen and let me know if you hear Yanny.

  6. Yes it's laurel and the dress is blue, we used to say people who couldn't perceive reality were wrong.

  9. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE HEARING "LAUREL". SERIOUSLY, GET YOUR HEARING/BRAIN FUNCTION CHECKED. Maybe an MRI.

    It's saying YANNY. Where is there ANY "L" sound let alone two of them? Never mind the "A" as in "apple", not "aw" as in "awful".

  11. itttt it's playing both simultaneously. Yanny is higher and easier for younger ears to hear. Laurel is lower and easier for older ears to hear. Change the treble/bass and you'll hear both clearly.

  12. It's f*cking laurel:

    " So he sent it to a friend who created an Instagram poll, which began going viral early this week. One detail may frustrate some and vindicate others: he found the original clip on the vocabulary.com page for “laurel,” the word for a wreath worn on the head, “usually a symbol of victory.” "

    This helps explain it in a very easy to understand way by adjusting bass levels. Listen to it, then listen to the original. You may be able to hear either at will.

  16. +1 Don. When I listen on my phone it's Yanny, but on my laptop which has more complex audio settings it's Laurel.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Laurel. Not even a question.

    What are they trying to cover up? The last time this happened, with the gold dress, the CIA torture report had just been released and the stupid blue/gold dress questions pushed it out of the public conversation.

    What is it this time? Probably Israel killing Palestinians? What else could it be?

  25. I only hear Laurel. My son hears Yanny. Apparently, both words are being said at the same time but on different frequencies. A couple of folks on here need to take a chill pill and lighten up.

  33. Yanny This is the auditory unicorn of words.

  34. Use this tool to hear what you're not hearing. I hear is "Laurel", and with the slider pushed all the way to the right, I still hear "Yarry".

  35. I heard nothing BUT Yanni when it was on the news today, now I hear Laurel.

  36. On the radio this morning I clearly heard "Laurel" (lower pitched)

    On my iphone from Facebook an hour ago I CLEARLY heard "Yanny" (higher pitched)

    Now I'm on my laptop and it is clearly "Laurel" (lower pitched)

    I think the speakers have a major part to do with it.

  37. It is both. Which you hear depends on what frequencies your ears are more attuned/sensitive too.

    Imagine a color blind person and someone with normal vision looking at the same piece of multicolored art...

    Perception is in the mind.

  39. I heard Laurel on my samsung phone, walked over to my husband and hit play and he heard Yanny.

    I can't help but wonder if this also affects what music we like.

    1. Hi Sal

      I thought maybe being tired vs rested may have been a factor. But I'm back to hearing Laurel...so what do I know.
