[NSC] Yanny/Laurel

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Just got the family (seven) of us to listen to the same clip at the same time and write down what they heard. On the big reveal we had 2 with no idea. 2 had Laurel and 3 with Yammy. Needless to say, I was right with Laurel. There is no way I could get that to be Yammy.......I really tried.

 

[The Rattler]

Heard "cannyplayatleftback"

 

[Giraffe]

Laurel.

 

[spongy]

I read page 1 of this thread and absolutely no idea what you weirdos were going on about.

It just appeared on my Facebook so I listened.

It says Laurel to me.

 

[Blackadder]

Heard it a few times and I can only hear Laurel.

Try as I might, I can't here Yanny at all.

Just shows what can happen when you speak behind your hand

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Weird, listened to it on my tablet yesterday and heard Laurel, then whilst watching tv the BBC news done an item on it I heard Yanny.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Laurel.

The Laurel people were correct btw.

It's creator stated he said Laurel.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Can someone please link a clip where they're saying "Yanny"? I seem to have only heard the one where they're saying "Laurel".

Both are playing. One at a higher cadence, the other at a lower. So it’s all about what device you’re hearing it through, and whether it has enough bass for you to hear Laurel.

Yes but what did you hear?

 

[melias shoes]

Laurel. Clearly says Laurel.

 

[GT49er]

Laurel. Only heard it on MW radio though, in the car and on transistor radio. Might it sound different on HD/digital devices? Don't know - and having typed this I've decided I don't really care...........................

 

[mattislost]

it's Yanny!

Weird, listened to it on my tablet yesterday and heard Laurel, then whilst watching tv the BBC news done an item on it I heard Yanny.

My girlfriend was the same. Because it is two words at different frequencies, I guess the quality of the speaker will affect whether you can hear the high or low frequency better

Hearing aids in Yanny aids out laurel

 

[Razzoo]

Yesterday it was a definite Yanny but today it is Laurel.

 

[McTavish]
