When I first heard of that viral modified audio clip (the one the topic's about), I heard "yanny". After that, I now interpret it as "laurel" every single time without fail.

If you do hear "yanny" (is that even a word?) consistently, it might be due of your ears picking up certain frequencies that older people are likely to.
 
first time I listened I heard yanny. Then a few minutes later I heard laurel I was so MAD because I couldn't unhear laurel. but now sometimes it just alternates.

but I think the audio is actually saying laurel, I watched a buzzfeed video where a Reddit user was on a dictionary thing and the audio is a pronounciation of laurel. idk if that's true because it's buzzfeed, if I wasn't so lazy I'd link the video but I think you can find it yourself
 
how are you guys hearing yanny? i've listened to it a million times trying to hear where "yanny" is.....

all i hear is laurel. well asapscience says i'm hearing it right so that's good
 
The first two times, I heard yanny. Well actually, it sounded more like yammy. But after that, I almost always hear Laurel. At one point it switched back to yammy for a few repetitions, but now all I can hear is Laurel again.
 
"Is the dress black and blue or white and gold?"

I hear that sped up at around 500%, then the sound of a faint gunshot right near the end.
 
People who hear Laurel have old people hearing, and they are going to go deaf soon. Good thing I hear Yanny, and I?m probably older than most people on this site :D
 
Laurel is louder for me, but when Laurel pauses, I hear Yanny too. Laurel is a man's voice, Yanny is a female's voice (kinda sounds like an old lady robot).

i mean earphones into something else like im listening to music whilst watching the vid if that makes sense lol
 
I'm beginning to hear more clearly now. I hear "Laurel", and the dress is still blue and black.

I'm not a good person to test this on because of my hearing impairment I had since I was little.
