OT: Laurel or Yanni (Ignore the thread if you think internet crazes are dumb!)

[big red22]

***"Ignore this thread if you think it is dumb"***

I really could care less if you think it is annoying and dumb, so please do waste your time posting about it!

Now onto the topic

It is freaking crazy to think that you hear "ohl" at one frequency and "eee" at another. They sound nothing alike, and yet I hear it differently with different speakers and speeds.

There is a youtube Video of it where I hear Laurel from 80% on and hear "Yerri" at 60% and 70%, but I never actually hear Yanni, but I do hear "eee" at the end. It is a complete mind ****

What do you hear?

Just tried it out. Couldn’t tell. Tried it again. Much clearer this time.

Yep. It says “Iowa sucks”.

Laurel

I have tried to hear laurel...cant.. all i hear clear as a bell is yanny

First time I listened, heard Yanni pretty clearly. After listening to it and focusing, I can hear laurel as well. For me, the trick is listening for high tones I hear Yanni, low tones I hear Laurel. My wife can't hear Yanni even if she tries, she was the one that showed it to me last night actually.

Can hear both depending on what I'm listening for.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

I heard Yanni both times.

Edit: Nevermind, the video i listened to wasnt the original. I hear only Laurel now.

I heard Yerri/Yuri every time I listened to it, and I listened to it probably 20 times, because it automatically played over and over.

I can't hear anything except for Laurel. My wife originally heard Yammy now hears laurel every time. The five year old hears yurry she says.

Laurel. Never wanna hear this guy, ever:

The master of the pan-flute!

I hear doughnut.

Now on that video I hear Laurel all the way. So all of these audio clips are exactly the same, because I believe I heard two different sounding clips.

Laurel. Never wanna hear this guy, ever:

And yet, he's laughing about it on his private jet. Who knew that many people actually purchased pan flute jams.

I'm the exact opposite. Tried like hell to hear yanny, even on a video where the guy changes the pitches to highlight both and I do not hear it.

 

[BeautifulDayintheNeighborhood]

Watch the brainstorm one. That one is crazy

Actually the frequency of the “l” and “e” sound are not that far apart.
