Valk Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 It's all to do with the pitch of the sound and volume. If you lower the pitch, your hear Laurel and if you raise the pitch your here Yanny, but it's all bullshit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparrow Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Bairdie whave you read what i´ve posted? 😋  " According to the Mirror, Broadway actor and singer Jay Aubrey Jones, 64, recorded the word 'laurel' back in 2007. Meaning it's taken over a decade for our ears to have a listen. Jay, who comes from New Jersey in he US, trained in pronunciation and produced the clip for Vocabulary.com. He said he's been 'amused to no end' by the debate. We're glad you've enjoyed it Jay, it's annoyed us to no end. He told Time: "I recorded my batch of words and I thought that was that. "I thought, well, it couldn't be that huge. Then I heard the recording again online and I realised what a brouhaha this whole thing was." A bro what? Jay said 'laurel' as a 'wreath worn in victory'. But he did admit he can understand why some people heard something else. How can you admit that? It's not like you can just turn off hearing one to hear the other, is it? He added: "More often than not, I hear laurel. I can hear a slight trace of yanny." For us it's one or the other, mate. The actor recorded around 36,000 words over six months for the vocab website - clearly one was 'brouhaha'. A few people uploaded videos showing that if you change the pitch or the bass, it can alter whether you hear 'Yanny' or 'Laurel'. Laurel is very low pitched, while Yanny is the opposite, which is why people are so divided over the recording, apparently"  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
