Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.com/jvHhCbMc8I — Cloe Feldman (@CloeCouture) May 15, 2018Thank you for allowing me to ruin your day. I, for instance, correctly hear “Laurel,” spoken in a deep male voice with the diction of a seasoned radio announcer. Some of my colleagues hear “Yanny,” in a higher-pitched, slightly more nasal voice. Or so they say, because no matter how much I mess with the audio I can hear only Laurel … only Laurel. Some of my colleagues were able to hear both, depending on the volume of their speakers: Yanny with low volume, Laurel when it was louder.
