Shut your ### ####ed whore mouth

For those of you who only hear one or the other, drag the slider bar back and forth. In the center is what you hear on the original clip.

I can't hear Yanni even when I slide it all the way to the right.  Only get to Laurney.

My hearing must suck.

My hearing must suck.

It's so weird. Several times I have brought up the clip and heard Yanny the first time or two then it switched to Laurel and that's all I hear after the first couple of Yannys.

Thanks, I finally got to hear Yanny.

I was expecting it to be at a higher pitched frequency.

 

[NotSmart]

This is me also. I hear Yary (rhyming with Gary).

It sounded like Harry to me.

When my wife came in the room, I played it for her, and all of the sudden it sounded like Busch.

I mean, how did it know?

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

odd, I hear “Jer-Mac”. 

 

[TwinTurbo]

yesno   At first heard Yanny, then plugged my earbuds in and heard Laurel. Took my earbuds back out and still only hear Laurel now. Yanny seems to be high pitch and Laurel low pitch, so I guess it's whichever your ears tune into first and "lock on" to

Same here. Heard Yanny to start. Switched to headphones and heard Laurel. Now I can only hear Laurel either way.

 

[CurlyNight]

Laurel.

 

[zamboni]

Weird - I hear either Zamfir or Hardy

 

[Otis]

Am I the only one with such an exceptional ear that I can hear both?  My wife only hears one, and I think she may be deef.  

 

[Otis]

 but as I continued to listen, I now hear both of them very clearly simultaneously. 

Welcome to the club of exceptional hearers. 

 

[-OZ-]

I heard everything he heard. Laurel at regular and higher pitch, yanny at lower pitch. Back to Laurel at the original pitch. 

This, but yanny at regular pitch

 

[-OZ-]

I heard nothing.

Then took it off mute.

 

[jamny]

The only time I heard Laurel was in the video where the guy raises the pitch.

Two notches to the left on the NY Times link, I hear Laurel, one notch to the left, I hear them both.

My wife is a speech language pathologist and is nerding out to this explaining things to me. 

 

[gianmarco]

I have a friend named Laurel. I'm going to start calling her Yanni. When she asks, I'm going to be like "uh, I'm saying Laurel".

 

[Bull Dozier]

I have a friend named Laurel. I'm going to start calling her Yanni. When she asks, I'm going to be like "uh, I'm saying Laurel".

My SIL's name is Yanni.  I'm going to start calling her Laurel.  Thanks for the schtick.   

 

[rick6668]

OK, starting at the middle, I hear Laurel. I slide it pretty far right and I hear Yanny. 

BUT, if I slowly slide it back left, I can hear Yanny back all the way to the center and a little bit past center to the Laurel side. Going slow I can keep it Yanny pretty far back the other way. 

Now near the center I can hear both, interchangeably, at will. 

Same for me.  That's crazy.

Can you expand on that?

I hear Yanni. Do I have ball cancer?

By all means, please don't share the explanation. 

 

[Ignoramus]

My SIL's name is Yanni.

Do what now?

 

[abbottjamesr]

I only hear Laurel but I have pretty significant hearing loss in the upper frequencies from working in power plants for the last 15 years.

 

[NREC34]

Listened to some more at lunch and I totally lost my ability to hear it any way I want to. Frustrating. 

I’m definitely a “laurel first” kind of guy. 

 

[Bull Dozier]

Do what now?

She's Korean, and it is a shortened version of her brith name.

 

[bigmarc27]

By all means, please don't share the explanation. 

I didn’t say I listened. 

 

[johnnycakes]

It's Laurel

I've tried it on phone, laptop, ipad, with and without earbuds, truck speakers, computer speakers, bluetooth speaker, every sound playing device I own and I can only hear Laurel.

Saw this earlier.  Mind blown.

 

[The Duff Man]

I am familiar with this concept. Due to the frequencies her ears are attuned to, my wife has been hearing things I didn't say for years.

You can also hear Brain Needle and Green Storm. 

 

[DallasDMac]

Listened through my computer and then with my headphones, I'm with the OP as I only hear Yanny and can't even comprehend how people are hearing Laurel.

 

[belljr]

at the batting tunnels last night

It was hilarious - all the girls from other teams debating with each other

Is this one of those 3D pics that gives you a headache?

It's pretty cool BTW.

Of course you do - T&Ps to you balls

 

[rustycolts]

I played it backwards and heard Satan
