https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/05/laurel-or-yanny-audio-clip-video-twitter-crazy-what-poll-please-vote-helpRemember the dress that people either thought was gold and white or black and blue? This is similar to that but even more maddening.
Theres an audio clip going around the internet that is causing people to hear Yanny or Laurel. When I listen to it, I clearly hear Laurel and believed that anyone hearing the other option was a troll. You may hear something different.

(14,075 posts)I hear Laurel when he sets the pitch high, I hear Yanny when he sets the pitch low. But, at the setting on the original audio clip, I hear Yanny.
The blue dress made some sense to me. This is more of a surprise.

(10,749 posts)I heard Yanny - high pitch
She heard Laurel - deep pitch.
We each called the other an idiot.
If memory serves, I think we also disagreed on the blue/black dress.
If we had only know this 30+ years ago, we might not have got married.

(10,156 posts)Yanny you can hear from initial stand point. Laurel if you listen to the lower tone of it. I listened to it multiple times and got to hear both
