Yanny or Laurel (Blue or Yellow Dress 2.0)

[TristanLuigi]

How strange. It's not like there's any perceptual tricks like with the dress where your brain corrects for the lighting - it's just, like, one clip of audio.

EDIT: Okay, I messed with it in Audacity for a bit. If I pitch it down one octave, it doesn't sound like either; too distorted. If I pitch it down two octaves, I can just barely make out a distorted "yanny." But I had to pitch it down TWO OCTAVES to do that, so I don't know how anyone can hear "yanny" normally. I can also hear it if I apply an extremely strong high-pass filter at 2000Hz, but again, this is such a strong effect that I can't imagine anyone hearing that normally.

EDIT2: Try this out: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/16/upshot/audio-clip-yanny-laurel-debate.html
This lets you distort the frequencies to "hear" both. I had to go to the 2nd notch from the right to start hearing both words equally, and 1 notch to hear yanny unequivocally. What's your critical point?
And, for what it's worth, the original clip says "laurel," with some distorted higher frequencies added to trip people up.

I tried pitch shifting and it didn't help me find the Yanny.

[ChappersTeddy]

sorry trogot

[Khaz]

I can hear both and switch between them but Laurel is definitely the correct/dominant one

[Satan From Wreck-It-Ralph]

i can make it switch between yanny and laurel. why are we freaking out over bad text to speech, anyway?

[TableSalt]

i can tune my ears to hear either, but i heard yanny first

edit: i went back and listened again and i cant hear yanny anymore what the forget

[Trogtor]

WTF i just took a nap and woke up and i hear laurel now

[Masterlegodude]

I hear laurel, even trying to pretend that i hear "yanny", i don't really hear it

[foulprairiedog]

i can only hear Yanny but i always have my volume down real low ...
