It's incredible how this has caused so much disagreement. A bit like the Gold/White or Blue/Black dress.

It's incredible. Without telling my wife what I hear, I played the clip to her.
She hears the opposite to me.

Just some guy saying Laurel twice.
Is it not the case that the older you get, the worse your hearing gets and the higher frequencies can't be heard any more? Anyone remember the sonic teenager deterrents?

Laurel for me, but I can make out Yanny (the 'y' s anyway} if I listen for it

My oldest, who has used earphones for most of his life, hears the same as me. I suspect that he is not alone in his generation.

It is actually "Laurel" - they took the clip off this page:

Happily, I hear "laurel", so the Yannys are just weirdos.

Is this a wind-up???? If it is then I can't be bothered debating it any further.

It really is like the dress. Folk were getting quite aggressive thinking people were taking the pish, but they weren't.
Gold/White and Yanny rule, ya bass.Last edited by Hibbyradge; 17-05-2018 at 09:12 AM.

I can hear both - Laurel is a really deep register behind a higher pitched Yanny

I don't think it's got anything to do with how good our hearing is. Or very little.

After playing 100+ decibel bagpipes for 40 odd years I was concerned but not surprised to notice signs that my hearing might be failing. From 10yds or so I could always hear my car doors locking/unlocking, then recently I found myself pressing the button a few times and listening hard to hear the click. Turned out the key thingy needed a new battery.

You have all been used. I bet this was a test to see how people could be taken in so easily.
As youngster me and my friends would point to nothing in the sky to see how many people would look too.
Don't even bother looking at these stupid questions.
