It's Laurel! Don't even go there with that Yanny crap!
-
Both.
When I first heard it I heard 'Yanny', but then it changed to 'Laurel'. If I focus correctly I hear both now.
-
This could literally be the dumbest thing ever.
-
I hear "Laurel" when it's played at the original pitch. When the pitch is reduced by 20% I hear "yearry".
-
I hear Laurel, my wife hears Yanny... figures.

Same with me. At very first, I heard Yanny and then it became Laurel.
The same thing happened with that blue dress thing. For one second I saw one color and then on, I saw the other color.
-
me and son heard yanny or something like ddrrjjjjjannny.
wife heard laurel, because women are crazy

Kill me now....

I haven't clicked the link but I find it hard to believe that people can't tell the difference between one word enunciated correctly, and cheesy new age keyboard soft rock.
(This does, however, offer some rationale as to why some people inexplicably like Radiohead and Grace Under Pressure.)

Absolutely my first thought as well. It was then followed by the realization of how much damage I've done to my hearing over the years. :-\

And just so everyone is on the same page, the ACTUAL word being said in the audio clip is...... LAUREL

Hey, Yanni rules, GUP rules, Radiohead's AMSP rules. Blow me. :biggrin:

What the actual fuck are you guys talking about?

Or Genesis and Kiss.

I almost added "Kiss" but wanted to see how long before that got thrown out there. The Genesis is admittedly a surprise, but there you go. :)

...or Pain of Salvation.

Laurel and Hardy!

Is this a publicity stunt for Yanni?

Yeah... no disrespect intended towards the OP though :lol

I don’t find it stupid at all. I think it’s a perfectly harmless and mildly interesting audio phenomenon.

I'm not really understanding this hate. It's a harmless internet thing that isn't about politics. I actually found it kind of fascinating. A buddy texted it to me and said "play this for everyone around you". The following 15 minutes was one of the most fun fights I've ever been in.
-
Chino... you're right, it's absolutely harmless interwebz viral crap. I don't think it's hate, but just the biggest fucking eyeroll that this is what grabs the attention of our society en masse?? I sometimes feel humanity is devolving.

In 1975 1.5M people paid $4 for a pet rock.

W...What's wrong with a pet rock?

:lol It's not stupid from the perspective of science and general interest, it's stupid because of how something so small becomes a sensation that sweeps the nation. I guess not different than a pet rock, or when I was a kid, pogs were a thing. Sure have fun with your friends about it, but it's not headline news IMO that needs to be now injected into my life from so many different sources. The memes have been funny though.

"Brainstorm" or "Green Needle"?
depends on what you think......

That's really funny.

Neither. I hear "Brain Needle".

I'm totally with Cram on this. I find it absolutely FASCINATING from a science perspective (and if you think about it, it explains a LOT about us as humans and how we interact). But I find it BAFFLING that people can't just experience it and move on. I have no idea why this is on major news feeds.

It's white and gold.

Proves a retweet from Ellen makes us approximately a Borg collective

It's a thing that virtually everyone is talking/asking about. It would be weird if it didn't show up in the news one way or another.

Is that backwards though? Is it news because "everyone" is talking about it, or is everyone talking about it because it is "news?"
-
It garnered a lot of attention online, which caused it to become news, which caused it to garner more attention.
I guess I don't really understand the point you're making.
-
I am not active on social media, unless this forum counts(?) So when I saw this as a top news story, it was the first I'd heard of it. I guess I don't know how something like this, or anything for that matter, garners "a lot of attention online."
-
Someone posts something, a bunch of people see it and share it/post it elsewhere, more people see it, etc. etc.
In this case I think it started with a Reddit post. So, the post is popular, more people see it, eventually enough that it gets to the front page and a bunch of other people see it and post it elsewhere, so on and so forth.
-
I don't know why it's so fascinating. It's a word that's said in a way that it can be deciphered as either one (or even something totally different). Doesn't shit like this happen every single day to people? "Oh, *insert word here*? I thought you said *insert word here that sounds very similar*!"
I think it's because people think shit like this is somehow scientific and some kind of revelation happens where they forget that it's a daily occurrence and end up turning it into some crazy thing that means more than it does. Plot twist: It doesn't mean anything. At all.
I can make myself heard both. Because it was made specifically to be heard as both. (This is somehow totally and completely lost on...almost everyone who I've heard about this from) :lol Anyone can hear either one. Try hearing it through one ear while your other is closed off; or hearing it through a different atmosphere, like with music playing in the background and then in silence, etc. etc. It's something super simplistic that somehow turned into this...THING. :lol Harmless, sure.
But so is dabbing (lolz not weed lolz), and some people tweak the fuck out when they see or hear about that. I don't hate it but it sure isn't what a whole hell of a lot of people think it is. (in my experience with this, anyway; taken at face value it's...still pretty stupid and boring)
-
I just YouTubed it. Haven't kept up with the discussion on this anywhere. Haven't tried it with earbuds or headphones or on my monitors yet, so only my laptop speakers.
Heard 'Yanny' for about 10 seconds, it sounded more robotic. Then for some reason it starting sounding less tinny, and then I heard Laurel. When I replayed it, I only heard Laurel unless I tried super hard to hear Yanny... this is weird.

"I say Geneva, you hear Helsinki?!"

That is so not what’s happening with this though.

:corn

I'm not kidding, not trying to be difficult, or am iconoclast, but I heard "yarry".
-
Just listened for the first time and I have no clue how anyone is hearing Laurel.

Aside from any scientific explanation anyone might have for the difference in what people hear, here's a little clue on why people are specifically hearing Laurel... It's an audio clip of a guy saying LAUREL. :hat

Fix'd for me.

That's what I hear if I reduce the pitch of the original audio by 20%
I hear "Laurel" when it's played at the original pitch. When the pitch is reduced by 20% I hear "yearry".

You wanna go? LET'S GO!

Finally listening to it, it's definitely Laurel, but I can also hear an echo effect that makes an E sound. Still not Yanny though.

Yanny, but for a brief moment when I was showing the video to coworkers I hear Laurel.
-
I put my Iphone up to the speakers to translate voice to text.
It wrote it out as "yeah me". Which is closer to Yanny than Laurel.
I win.
-
I didn't hear either.

This could literally be the dumbest thing ever.
