You can hear the words ‘Brainstorm’ or ‘Green Needle’ based on which word you think about.

NYTimes gives us the explanation and a tool so you can hear either Yanny or Laurel.
The original clip came from the vocabulary.com page for “laurel,” the word for a wreath worn on the head, “usually a symbol of victory.”
Basically it's poor audio quality from speakers that makes some ppl hear "yanny."

- definite yanniGnash
- except it's laurel ... it starts and ends with "el" sounds ... there's literally no "y" in the pronunciation at allmonospaced
- How weird - now on my speakers at work it sounds like Laurel. I hate this sort of shit! Beforehand there was 'literally no' Ls or Rs in what I was hearing.detritus
- I hear no L sounds what so ever.dopepope
- It all depends on the speakers. On my TV I hear Yanny, on my car radio I hear Laurel. I could even go back and fourth and replicate.ETM

I watched this entire thing and still hear Yanni. My wife hears Laurel and sometimes both. Its maddening.

Some people hear Laurel, some Yanny.
FFS. Who cares.
It's high vs low freqs. Depends on speakers and the individual as per clip posted already: https://twitter.com/MBoffin/stat…

I hear both at the same time in different pitches (if that's the right term). It sounds like two channels of audio smashed togeher and played at the same time.
- is that what's going on?monospaced
- After reading more on it, yeah i guess so. My head doesn't seem to separate the two.Cosmodrome
- this is exactly what I hear... both... right on top of each other like two people talking at the same timePonyBoy

First I heard Yanny. Then an hour or two later I heard Laurel.
Then I went WTF and started researching it more.
Now I've trained my ear to hear whichever one that I want.
