Yanny or Laurel?
« on: May 18, 2018, 02:57:34 PM »
It's been a raging debate at work. I can only hear Laurie. All my male colleagues hear Yanny. What's wrong with them? Is this a sexist thing?

I am on team yanny  :D.  I can hear Laurel in the background though.

This tells me people probably get a different feel for the same music when a band plays.

The original clip was recorded as Laurel: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/technology/2018/may/16/yanny-or-laurel-sound-illusion-sets-off-ear-splitting-arguments

I have perfect pitch. I don't believe the hogwash on dual auditory illusion bla bla bla.

If you hear #yanny you're a neanderthal like most men. Not you of course Termi since you hear both. That's really special.

Fk I was right: https://www.buzzfeed.com/virginiahughes/yanny-laurel-audio-conspiracy-theory?utm_term=.ceR5qXYvm#.qfAM4bagJ

If you're male you zone out and hear the truck aka anything but Laurel.
