  2. its because everyone ears are different some here yanny and some hear laural but it is relay yally

  3. I’m getting lanny… and no it’s not a spelling mistake I actually hear LANNY!

  5. It’s actually recorded Laurel, but the person who made it changed the pitch so people could hear either one.

  6. Laurel because if the pitch is lowered then you can hear yanny but if the pitch is high then you hear laurel.

  10. You can hear both depending on what you want to hear. Say Yanny in your head and you get Yanny. Say Laurel in your head and you get Laurel. (Works if you try it a few times)

  11. Watch the scientific explanation. I heard laurel but the first time I watched the explanation video then I heard Yanny Laurel Yanny laurel.

  12. i can hear yanny is the speaker is facing away from me but if its facing me i can hear laurel i just pick what i want

  13. I CAN HEAR BOTH when you turn up the pitch 30% you can hear laurel but if you turn down the pitch 30% you can hear Yanny, they made this video by just over lapping sounds. So no mater what you hear your right.
