I originally heard Yanny but after listening to the sound bite on a loop for around a minute and trying to figure out how people heard Laurel, I suddenly heard Laurel! Now that’s all I can hear. 🤷🏼♀️
That's because it's a bistable illusion. Depending on the device and if you're using headphones or a speaker, the way it's played can effect what you hear based on the frequency of the sound. It's like the dress from a few years ago, some people saw blue and black, others saw white and gold. It depends on many different factors like lighting or how well your device displays color and imagery. The Laurel and Yanny clip is actually two different recordings laid over one another. Laurel in a lower pitch, and Yanny played higher. So depending on the device and how the track is played, it could sound like either to anyone. So, in this scenario, no is is truly correct.
Woooooah....so when I watched this video I only heard yanny every single time.....but then I went to another video and heard yanny the first 3 or 4 times then started hearing laurel and now I came back to this video and am hearing yanny and laurel. But mostly yanny....so weird. Especially cause both ways im like how can you hear the other? Like theres no mistaking. ..but then I hear something different the next time.
Courtney Marks while I was watching the video I kept hearing yanny and I was like how can someone hear Laurel but when they played the sound to one of the people in the video all of a sudden I heard Laurel and was like how it be yanny but now all I hear is yanny
So apparently, the guy who made it, said Laurel AND Yanny. The only catch is that he raised the frequency of the Yanny. So technically, Erin is right! It is both! Unless my sources are incorrect, in which case please ignore everything you just read.
Yah we and laurel I have to try so hard to hear yanny I swear I don't hear yanny and even with the frequency change I hear yahwe im only 13 god damn it
Nadia Sørensen i read somewhere younger people can hear the yanny voice more due to some pitch/volume thing, these are all adults-probably why most hear Laurel. Most at my school hear Yanny. So if you're younger probably why you hear Yanny :)
I initially heard Laurel..Then from the other room my son was playing it I heard Yanny..Now I hear both & it’s been tripping me out for almost 24 hours now! Ugh!!🙉
Trick to hear both is if you are hearing Laurel or yanny then go on youtube search and click 2-3 videos of the yanny and laurel audio while thinking of the opposite name that you hear and then boom! You will start hearing the opposite one. Works for me every time I done this and its crazyyyyuh
Forced myself to hear both but naturally hear yanny first. Also died inside a little when she said “and the dress is blue” and saw the white and gold dress xD
First time I heard nothing but Yanny. Played it for my parents and they said laurel and my brother said yanny. Keep listening to it 8 more times and now all I hear is laurel. Wtf.

Trick to hear both is if you are hearing Laurel or yanny then go on youtube search and click 2-3 videos of the yanny and laurel audio while thinking of the opposite name that you hear and then boom! You will start hearing the opposite one. Works for me every time I done this and its crazyyyyuh
