I find that I have to use good headphones to get repeatable results. Otherwise I can hear the same clip differently from one repeat to the next, which is really weird.
Using Audacity and my Sennheisers, a notch filter from about 500 to 1000 Hz reliably changes laurel to yanny in the clip that's being shared on Twitter. There is an intermediate setting where I can hear both at once.
The original source from https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel stays laurel no matter what I do.
- rimliu 8y agoI first heard this clip on my headphones (some cheap SONY at the office). It was definitely "Laurel". Then while driving home I hear the bit on BBC about this and when it plays over the radio a hear "yanny".
- glandium 8y agoThe original source sounds like it has much better quality than the ambiguous samples I'd heard so far.
