    Darn it I reached my limit of free NYT articles. I will never know why some people think that damn thing is Laurel!

    Yeah I know that's the theory. I wanted to try it out. I hear Yanny at the mid-point.

    Open another browser (Firefox / IE / Chrome) and you should have more free articles to browse. Not sure if it works in incognito mode.

    I'm the opposite, I hear Laurel there but Yanny one notch higher.

    I hear Laurel on one computer using proper USB speakers and Yanny on my laptop.

    I hear Laurel mostly. The higher frequency one sounds more like "Yerry" to me, and only a little.

    Old folk with bad hearing tend to hear Laurel. Those with better hearing hear Yanny.
