It's always one or the other, and then a few hours later I listen again and it's the other one. It's the same for my fiancee, except she almost always hears the one I don't. Really bizarre.

I hear Laurel. If you hear Yanny, you're a retard :lol:

Even with this

I hear 'yearly'. For me there is clearly a 'LL' sound.

I heard Yanni, but then if I focused on the lower frequencies with headphones on I could hear Laurel. Depends on what freq you focus on. Also what shitty speakers you're listening to it on.
