Also here's an article that purports to explain why people hear different things. I don't agree with the psychology parts because I can't make myself hear it differently no matter how I try, but the rest of it is interesting.

I did this last night and only heard Yanny. Showed it to some friends like 30 minutes later and only heard Laurel. Went back to it a bit later and only heard Yanny again.

That clip fucks with my mind.

Which definitely explains why I hear Yanny. I'm always hearing high pitched sounds that other people don't initially notice or can't hear at all.

Apparently Yanny is played at the same time on a higher frequency so it overrides Laurel for some people, and there's some trick to using cheap earbuds or headphones to be able to hear it.

There's nothing overlaid over anything. There's no fancy audio trickery.

It's literally just a poor quality recording of this:
https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel

Some doofus probably heard it over their poor quality phone or laptop speakers, got confused over mishearing the word (due to the poor quality speakers), and recorded it on their phone to show it to other people to see what they heard.

That just means everyone who is saying "yanny" is objectively wrong.

Good work my dude.

No. It means this particular recording is mutated enough from the original that it's become something totally different. There's no l or r sound in that recording. Maybe it was laurel once upon a time, but it ain't anymore.

If you didn't already know what you hear depends on how old you are.

As you get older you lose the ability to perceive certain frequencies.

I saw this on a show on Discovery before this Laurel or Yanny thing became a thing, but shown much more practically by simply showing you a series of sounds at different frequencies one after the other and matching it with your approximate age.

At first I heard Yanny, no doubt about it. Multiple times. Then I listened to it with headphones and then I heard Laurel clear as day, but now I cant hear Yanny anymore like at all. I tried with and without headphones, I tried turning up the volume and turning it low, but nothing. :/

And that how most people feel about the Y or N sound. I literally cannot hear it no matter how hard I try...
