walshie 2,804 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Apparently it's 50/50 what you hear. Some hear a higher pitched voice saying "Yanny". Others hear a lower pitched voice saying "Laurel". I can only hear Laurel. What do you hear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted May 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 My son just said Yanny. The weirdo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,568 Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 Some professor somebody or other was on the radio this morning, about this. Apparently, if you're younger, you'll hear Yanny, and if your older, Laurel (generally). Some people have apparently reported different words on different types of radio...... It was done as an experiment into neural processing..........or something ! Yanny, by the way ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
