Which do you hear, Yanny or Laurel?
I clearly heard "Yanny" in the original clip, but in the clip that changes semitones (sorry it's Mother Jones), from +5 semitones on, I hear "Laurel". I found it fascinating that just changing pitch would create a completely dissimilar word.

Same.

So why are people sharing this clip, anyway? Was it recorded and shared just for this purpose? Is it a secret, Russian plot to Trumpify our elections?

It's a plan of Trump's secret police. If you heard "Laurel" in the original, it means you're a commie-nazi-hippie-pinko and you will be rounded up shortly. If you heard "Yanny", you'll be getting a tax break.

And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” When he said, “No,” they said to him, “Then say Shibboleth,” and he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan.

I hear "Laurel" on all. Muted in the mid tones, but still there. However, my high-frequency hearing loss is definitely dampening the harmonics that cause the "Yanni" audio ghosting. If I close my eyes and concentrate I can hear "Yanni" with reasonable clarity.

"Jerry"
IMHO, if you hear Yanni or Laurel, it's because the title suggested you would hear one or the other.

IMHO, if you hear Yanni or Laurel, it's because the title suggested you would hear one or the other.
Except if you go to the clip with the tone change, unless they doctored it, there is a clear difference, and the word sounds are separately distinctive enough that I have a really hard time believing that I could mis-hear "Yanni" as "Laurel". "Yanni" vs "Jerry" I could chalk up as psychological. I'm willing to believe the former could be physiological on the auditory side.

I wondered about that, when I first heard it on the news this morning. They said Yanny first.
On the Mother Jones clip, I heard Laurel pretty distinctly, depending on the pitch. It ain't just the power of suggestion.

I only listened to the clip in one article, and it didn't have tone or pitch controls.

I just read that researchers have discovered a way to insert commands to Alexa and Siri in seemingly innocuous recordings that are inaudible to human ears, but can be picked up by your phone (or Dot).
And then this internet sensation to get everyone to click and listen to the same thing pops up...

1. Go to link in OP.
2. Scroll down to 3rd embedded video, the one with "Mother Jones" in the upper right corner.
3. Listen to said video.
4. Prepare to be dazzled!
5. ???
6. What, you thought there was profit? It's Mother Jones. Your profit will go to help struggling Palestinian protesters.

Truth be told, I didn't hear either Yanni or Laurel.
What I heard sounded MORE like Yanni, but it wasn't yanni.

Fox News did a story on this, and at the Fox link I clearly heard "Laurel". It did sound like a low, deep pitch, unlike my first link where I distinctly heard "Yanny".

From my phone speaker and one pair of earbuds I hear laurel. From my laptop speaker and another pair of earbuds I hear yanny. I think there are combined issues of what tones various speakers produce combined with what tones various people hear.

But you misspelled the name. The way you spelled it, it sounds like the proper Irish name for their Prime Minister: Taoseach.
By the way, since we haven't been formally introduced, my name is Tr...

I believe you. I just thought it was pretty comical of Trump to say it himself.

You should claim that you sold him the joke for, I dunno, $20. ;)

Naw, I stole it from him in that he invented it. I had no Idea he came out and used it like I did as I very seldom have the news on these days. It keeps my BP lower that way.

I was listening to a podcast earlier where they played this 4 or 5 times in a row. From the other room where I could barely hear it, I heard Yanny. Once I walked back in the room with the speaker, I heard laurel. Of course, they said someone spliced both words in at different frequencies which means different people hear it different.
