yanny or laurel?

Laurel, younger people might hear "yanny" if they haven't yet lost their ability to hear that pitch 

I take it back my older coworkers hear "yanny"  they think I'm crazy I only hear" Laurel"  the voice is saying "Laurel" but there's another pitch saying "yanny" so both are correct

i think it's actually two audio files: one which obv states "laurel" in a lower register, and another that says whatever it says in a higher register. 

someone on tweeter analyzed the audio file and found markers that indicate two distinct voices. personally, i first heard something (not yanny but a word said in a shitty, fake nasally voice), but after tweaking the eq a bit, i can clearly hear laurel.

this was done on purpose by someone to fuck with our minds.

At first We could only hear Laurel. Watched a couple other videos on youtube explaining the effect and still only heard Laurel.

NY Times has this nifty page with a slider, and We had to go about two thirds towards Yanny before We could hear it, and now if We try really hard We can pick it out on the original. Which is pretty pointless because regardless of what one hears, it's actually just saying Laurel.

The new black and blue/gold and white dress debate has arrived. This time, it's based on sound. Do you hear laurel or yanny?

I only hear laurel.

I hear Laurel & Hardy.

Not really.  Just laurel.

Rest on my laurels.

I'm sure if they take away the music, most people would hear both.

I only hear laurel.

For the longest time I heard yanny...but if I close my eyes and focus more on the low tones of yanny, it slowly shifts to a deeper voice that says laurel.... auditory illusion is wonderfully amusing....

I heard yanny but i dont really  wanna keep listening because it kinda creeps me out 

I’m glad I’m not the only one. It gives me chills the second or third time it plays, and I think about the movie House on Haunted hill for some reason.

How is it bs? It's seriously just the two words being played simultaneously.
