Yanny or Laural? (Don't ask me)
« on: May 20, 2018, 09:43:41 PM »
Stupid friends forced me to make this poll here...

(If you even care) Listen to the sound in this vadjeo.

The sound can be interpreted as two names. Yanny, or Laural. People mostly only hear one of the two sounds, but some can hear both.

So wich do you hear? Yanny, Laurel, or both?

I can hear why it would sound like Laurel, but only after really priming myself for that for like 2 minutes.
Is yanny even a word?
Everyone seems to have it, so here's mine

I only hear Laurel, from reading the New York Times article surrounding this, it was originally intended to be heard as "Laurel". But if the audio is altered slightly, it does indeed sound like Yanny to me.

I heard Yanny the first time I listened to it, now I hear Laurel by default, but I can hear both if I choose to do so.

Supposedly what you are listening through (computer speakers vs. headphones) and the distance you're hearing it at make a difference in which one you hear.
