Yanny for me If I try really hard then I can hear Laurel. But it always goes back to Yanny after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted May 16, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was laurel definitely, then I was yanny, now I’m back to laurel again. A vase or two faces, I have no idea. Thankfully Edgar Rubin wasn’t a prominent youtuber, or we wouldn’t get anything done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's yanny and I have no idea how anyone can hear laurel. So there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only conclude that this is an experiment that involves two different sound clips. Somehow, you get to hear one and others get a different one. Your certainty that it is yanny convinces me that that is what you have been played. Whereas I am equally sure that I was played laurel. No way could I hear it as anything remotely approaching yanny. Definitely some sort of fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’ve found that if I have the volume low on my phone I hear yanny, if I turn it up I hear laurel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way could I hear it as anything remotely approaching yanny. Definitely some sort of fix. It's not a fix. There's basically both sounds being played at different frequencies at the same time. Your hearing ability, and the device you listen on, will affect what you actually hear. Yanny is at the higher pitch. If you can't hear that pitch for whatever reason, you'll hear Laurel. If you can, you'll either hear Yanny, or a weird mix of both. Personally I hear Yanny. I would guess that there's almost certainly an age thing at play.

My upper frequency hearing is pretty shot - age, plus too much loud music when young, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, also my tinnitus kicks in from time to time... however, the very first time I played it, I heard Yanny, every other single time I heard Laurel. To be clear the first time and the second time were on the same machine and the second time was the recurring loop after the first instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Tetrachromacy is possessing 4 types of cone in the eye, an addition to red, green and blue. There are people wandering about having a slightly more psychedelic experience than the rest of us. It is in the gene pool but not common. The way the chromosomes stack up it's more prevalent in women. Most will have lived their whole lives without realising they could communicate in secrecy with goldfish.

V01 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Some pikey scum smashed my passenger window to steal my stereo last night. Noticed it today when we were about to go out. Useless clearings in the woods managed to break part of the stereo while stealing it making it an wasted effort on their part. Awkward bastards had to do it on my last day off.

Christ, who steals car radios stereos now? Its like going back to the 90's! I remember having to cary my Pioneer 'face off' stereo with me when I parked up in town. Mind you, it was more valuable then the car it was in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are more or less worthless these days, people us their phones via Bluetooth or aux cables. What a clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
