Turn the volume up and play it on some speakers that have actual bass response - not your phone - and you will hear laurel. 'If you turn the volume very low, there will be practically no bass and you will hear yanny. It has to do with the bass frequencies not being perceived as loud at lower volumes,' the user advised. 'Turn the volume up and down to hear each version. One person suggested playing with the bass frequencies to see if it would change the word that people hear and he even gave instructions.

True black magic f**kery,' someone admitted about their interpretation.Īnother user had a similar experience of hearing both words admitting: 'At first I heard yanny and then listened for laurel enough times to hear laurel.

'After listening it for some more time, I could sometimes hear a high pitched yanny or a low pitched laurel. 'I heard yanny for 10-15 minutes, then asked someone else and they said laurel. 'I heard yanny in a high pitched voice for the first half of the very first time I played it, but heard laurel ever since. Meanwhile, another person was seriously confused because they heard both.
