‘Yanny or Laurel?’ An Audio Clip Divides Twitter Like a Sequel to ‘The Dress’
Remember “the dress” that took social media by storm? The one when people couldn’t determine if a certain dress that went viral was black and blue or white and gold? Well, we might have a sequel.
There is an audio clip going around and apparently, people are hearing different things.
Help settle an office debate: Do you hear “Laurel” or “Yanny” in this clip? pic.twitter.com/8AtiS2RLN5

Some are hearing “Laurel” being repeated. Others are hearing “Yanny.”
And Twitter is freaking out about it.
it’s so clearly laurel. I can’t even figure out how one would hear yanny.

You either die a Yanny or live long enough to see yourself become a Laurel.

I ONLY HEAR YANNY and @JensenClan88 ONLY HEARS LAUREL. You know what they say, “the couple with different ear mechanics sits on the couch insisting the other is incorrect for life.” ❤️

Lol the Yanny-Laurel debate is a delightfully garish metaphor for how radically different our perception of things can be on this website, and elsewhere. OK, goodnight, sleep tight! (Obviously, it’s Laurel. Like, how are you hearing Yanny? Who?)

It seems like the majority of folks are hearing “Laurel.” But what do you hear?
