Yanny vs Laurel Phenomenon Explained!



On May 15, another unfathomable debate broke loose when a video was made with someone saying either Laurel or Yanny. This wonder is very similar to The Dress phenomenon that happened three years ago. (If you are not aware, this was another split between all viewers on whether a dress was black and blue or gold and white.) No one knows why so many people hear two completely different words… until now. This viral audio clip now has a scientific explanation: depending on what frequency you hear, will greatly affect the word you hear. Along with the frequency, “age, gender, and other personal demographics” can contribute to how we hear sound. The simple answer to this great phenomenon is that everyone hears differently, so it is not all surprising that we hear different words. [2 images, 1 link, 1 quotation, 134 words]
