This auditory illusion became popular this month... In the brief audio recording, 53% of over 500,000 people answered on a Twitter poll that they heard a man saying the word "Laurel" ,while 47% reported hearing a voice saying the name "Yanny" The audio clip originated from a recording of Jay Aubrey Jones, an opera singer, speaking the word "Laurel"as one of 200,000 reference pronunciations produced and published by vocabulary.com in 2007. Sooooo, what is it "Yanny" or "Laurel"????
I heard that if you hear Laurel you have a harder time picking up higher frequencies?? Not sure if it’s true or not.
