On this recording, you can distinguish one name, or both - it all depends on the device and your hearing.
An unusual audio recording has surfaced on the Reddit forums, which divided Internet users into two camps: some hear the name Yanny in it, and others Laurel. The dispute between the two sides has been compared to a well-known visual illusion, which depicts a dress of either gold or blue. You can listen to the audio recording below:
As it turns out, an interesting audio recording uses a wide range of frequencies. Roughly speaking, the name Yanni is played at the high frequencies, and Laurel at the low.
What a person hears in the end depends greatly on the playback device - be it headphones, a high-quality audio system or a speaker in the phone. At the same time, young people should most often hear "Yanni", since with age, human hearing is less able to pick up high frequencies.
Perception is also influenced by the initial expectations before listening, because everything we hear takes a form familiar to our brains. This information was confirmed by Professors Lars Riecke from the University of Maastricht and Bharath Chandrasekaran from the University of Texas.
However, the sound can be directly influenced by adjusting the playback frequency, for example, in the sound card of a computer or a simple audio editor. Some report that the sound varies greatly at different volume levels. Most likely, people with a developed ear for music can hear two names at the same time.
