Do you hear Yanny or Laurel?

May 28, 2018

There is a debate over an audio clip that has gone viral. 
 
Some people hear Yanny and some hear Laurel.  Some hear one name first and then hear the other name later. 
 
I heard Laurel everytime.  Experts say children and young people are more likely to hear Yanny.  I asked a few people over 50 and they hear Yanny.  That's so weird.  But I must say this is one of the most interesting debate I have heard.
 
 
Do you hear "Yanny" or "Laurel?
