Laurel or Yanny

[Fife]

Why Yanny thought? There isn't anything close to a "y" sound being made on the audio.

I think they are just trying to be different. This not like that dress thing. There's nothing ambiguous about it. You can clearly hear which phonemes are being articulated.

It is a very cautious conspiracy; not like these fools in Foggy Bottom. So you have to consider that.

I only hear Laurel in every example, on every device. You people are insane.

Slide it all the way.

Hmm.. 3rd spot from the right, I start hearing "Yearey". There is no "N" sound.

Right at that transition point though, I can hear both. Almost like a double-layered recording. There's a very sharp transition between 3rd and 4th from the right. It sounds like a different recording.

Hey fam, we've finally united catass and DSL.

:goteam: :drunk:

Well, we already agree on the state of modern Womanhood, the uselessness of government, and a few other minor points.

There is no conspiracy and 50% on the other side isn't lying collectively to trick you. People in the same room listening on the same audio equipment are hearing it differently.

I didn't notice that since you two would agree with each other on those things. The only real answer is that the meme says, "Laurel" and not "Yanny". Baby steps.

I hear the dominant one on each end of the slider with the other one being whispered behind it. Trippy.

If you play it backwards you can hear

do you want to gas the Jews?

The voice behind the Laurel or Yanny comes out and says that he was saying "Laurel" and also explains why some people would hear it differently:
