Popsugar Tech Memes Yanny vs. Laurel Hearing Test This "Yanny" vs. "Laurel" Clip Is the Audio Version of THE Dress — and It's a Mindf*ck 17 May 2018 by Erin Cullum First Published: 16 May 2018 What do you hear?! Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.com/jvHhCbMc8I— Cloe Feldman (@CloeCouture) May 15, 2018 Remember the dress colour debate? An equally divisive debate is here, and its name is Yanny . . . or is it Laurel? Here's the deal: an audio clip of a robot has made its rounds on the internet and people are losing their damn minds based on whether they hear "Yanny" or "Laurel." Some people swear they hear nothing but Laurel, while others can't fathom hearing anything but Yanny. And some hear Yanny at first and then Laurel, and then they can never go back to Yanny — talk about a quick way to divide you and all your coworkers! I'm sorry in advance for all the fights you're about to have. Even my fellow POPSUGAR editors and I can't find common ground, and it's tearing us apart. Here's a little snapshot of how our conversation went upon listening for the first time: "Laurel till the day I die. TAT IT ON MY FACE." "I did hear Yanny for a hot sec though when I took one headphone out." "Does anyone in here hear Yanny somehow?? "Oh no . . . I hear Yanny . . . packing up my desk — goodbye." "Omg, that blows my mind how people can hear such diff things." "Guys, who is hearing Laurel? We all hear Yanny. You're punking us." "WHAT DA FERQQQQ." The way you hear it apparently has to do with the frequencies: if you're listening for the higher tones, Yanny is clear, but once you hear the lower tones, you're team Laurel for life. Are you tired of reading the words "Yanny" and "Laurel" yet?!? I invite you to be tempted to pull out your hair as you listen closely and see how people are reacting to the greatest debate of 2018.
