Can he resign faster?
The freakiest thing to me was using this thing with a slider that could tweak it from one to the other. I originally heard Yanni, thought Laureltards were just trolling. Tweaked it way over to Laurel, it didn't even sound like Laurel then, just some weird grunting. Fucking idiots, right? Move it back to the middle, and it's clear as fuckin' day, Laurel, Laurel, Laurel. Fuck. Tweak it to Yanni-side, it just becomes a garbled mess. Back to middle, its Laurel. Yanni is dead to me. Long live Laurel.
All I heard was Yanny and I thought people were bullshitting with Laurel until I blasted my headphones over and over and then it suddenly changed. It's so strange because I can hear both now and they sound quite different although being the same.
wtf is laural vs yanny, is it some singer competition?
He's just like us
I read in another thread that it has something to do with being able to hear higher pitches when you're younger. This was before I heard the soundbite. I had my volume pretty low, and I couldn't even make anything out at first. Turned it up a little bit, and I started hearing "yanni". I kept listening, trying to think of how it could possibly be laurel, before thinking "eh, I guess I lost my ability to hear high pitched stuff." but then I turned up the volume to a point where I could make out that it's clearly saying "laurel", and I can't hear "yanni" anymore without trying very hard
basically a soundfile popped up on the net a few days ago where a person says Laurel, but due to the weird way the soundfile is played there is high frequencies in the file where it sounds like its saying yanny too. some people pick up on the high frequencies, some pick up on the low frequencies. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html tl;dr its the new "is this a blue and black or white and yellow dress" internet joke.
Not quite. People hear "yanny" because they're primed to hear "yanny" due to them seeing the question first and actively listening for it. Yanny or Laurel? Strange Audio Clip Explained. If you do a high pass or low pass filter for treble or bass, you might hear one or the other. But it's also important to note that the original sound clip came from a dictionary site for the world laurel.
Had to look up this shit myself as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCDB64qpXXk Basically as you get older you can't hear high tones as well anymore so you can only hear the low tone Laurel. If you're young and have shitty headphones you can hear yanny since laurel isn't as pronounced.
I was immediately reminded of this video after hearing about the sound clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiuO_Z2_AD4 Having the "Do you hear x or y?" question accompanying the sound clip probably doesn't help, since it'll predispose people to hear a certain word in the same way this video does.
I can't hear yanny I'm sad
Thanks to this I'm now able to hear both in the original clip. I could only hear "Yanny" in the original clip, despite knowing it was supposed to be "Laurel." After finding the point on that where I first started hearing Laurel, I was able to pick up on it better, and can now hear both.
This yanny x laurel debate is so fucking stupid. It's the blue/gold dress thing again.
fuck now I can't stop hearing "mayo" whenever I listen to this.
I've always heard laurel and can't imagine hearing yanny.
yea there's no way you hear yanny unless you intentionally pitch shift the soundclip.
Entirely depends on your sensitivity to high or low frequencies, people more sensitive to high frequencies (hi) hear Yanni, people more sensitive to low frequencies hear Laurel.
It really depends on the part you are focusing on, with some training you can change between Yanny and Laurel on your own without a tool.
Yeah, it just sounds weird muddled mess to me, if I focus enough I can discern both Laurel and Yanny - though I think Laurel is slightly more audible vs Yanny which just sounds terrible even when pitch shifted down.
I can relate to this guy! https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/f7b/1/16/1f44c.png

Jesus fucking Christ how am I capable of mentally choosing what I'm hearing I can't even hear the s in "storm" when I'm thinking of "green needle"
Alright so we know it's Yanny now. Paul Ryan is physically incapable of getting anything right
He should rename himself Paurel Ryanny at least, so he'd only ever get half the votes in the future due to half of voters voting for a made-up candidate by mistake. Musically, pitch shifting up or down is going to maintain the intervals in any chord or melody, so the only real difference one can find with pitch shifting up is that things can become a little less 'muddy', hence bass notes on pianos using 1 string per note/hammer, whereas high notes use 3 strings per note/hammer.
Even with the slider, "Yanny" is a garbled mess that sounds more like "jarry" or something.
They took it to the next level https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/997255568782852096
I'm amazed how quickly this file was discovered and how quickly it jumped the shark before I was even aware of it. I'm getting old.
I could only hear yanny on some shitty earphones, but it's clearly laurel when I listen on anything better
Nah this one was just really simple. This is one of those memes you get over in the same sitting that you discover it.
