Slider all the way to the right, only hear demonic "Laurie".
- tazard 8y agoInteresting, I hear yanny almost all the way to the left.
- retsibsi 8y agoWhat happens when you start at the far left, then move gradually rightwards? I find that my brain's interpretation is quite sticky -- I can hear Yanny quite far to the left, and Laurel quite far to the right, depending on where I begin.
- tazard 8y agoGood observation. I still hear yanny starting more left-center, but it makes a difference

- glenstein 8y agoGlad to know I'm not alone. I feel as though I've probably abused my ears over the years with headphones and concerts. Plus I've had several experiences where I haven't heard high frequences that were unmistakable to others. So I end up interpreting the Yanny/Laurel thing through the lens of a pre-existing anxiety regarding hearing loss. I have no idea if that's actually the right way to think of it, but nevertheless it's where my mind goes instinctually.
- andromeduck 8y agoWeird, I hear Laurel all the way until the last tick on the right when I start hearing a very distorted Gailey. To the right of that it's all Laurel I suspect this has to do with frequency aliasing and high frequency hearing loss.
- keithnz 8y agotry different speakers.....when I first heard it I was wearing headphones, so I unplugged to play on speakers, and it suddenly swapped. So it's not just about your ears
- andromeduck 8y agoSo I just tried it on all my devices - PC speaker, Bookshelf speakers, MBP speakers, iPhoneSpealers, Airpods, Earpods, and IEMs - still only hear laurel and gailey/yailie.
- Alterlife 8y agoPush it all the way to the left, listen to the Laural, then slam it all the way to the right during a silence. I find that if I move the slider while the sound is playing, or if I move the slider really slowly, my ears stick to the last word I heard. Another thing is that the speakers matter. I can't hear Laural on my laptop, but I can hear it on my phone.
- dkarl 8y agoTo me the "Laurel" just gets more and more distorted, and I start to hear a faint squeaky yerry... yerry... yerry on top of it. But it sounds more like an artifact than like a separate voice. I have no idea how it sounds like Yanni to anyone, but maybe I've lost my ability to hear high frequencies with age. (40m)
- psergeant 8y agoThis was my experience too, and then it abruptly changed. I couldn’t figure out if the tool or my brain was at fault
- newlaptopnewacc 8y agoI also never hear yanny, instead yerry. I think that tool is faulty -the second time I visited the page the laurel started at a different position.
