Yanny or Laurel? The Internet Is Going Crazy Figuring Out This Robot's Mysterious Voice
A user on Reddit shared the clip a few days ago and people on the internet have been arguing over it. According to an article in The Guardian the Yanny/Laurel sound is an instance of &ldquoperceptually ambiguous stimulus&rdquo much like the Necker cube or the face-vase illusion.
Before you dive into this insanely confusing puzzle, listen to this audio:

Do you hear Yanny or Laurel?
Ladies and Gentlemen, just like blue/gold dress confusion, this audio has started a massive argument on the Internet. A user on Reddit shared the clip a few days ago, and people on the internet have been arguing over it.
But even after listening to this, all I'm able to hear is "Laurel"
The voice has left people divided, take a look:

It cannot possibly be anything other than #Laurel. My mom is adamant it's #Yanny. We both think the other is messing with us. #makeitstop

I'm flashing back to the white and gold dress or the blue and black dress, y'all. . .and I want to know if the people hearing Yanny saw a blue and black dress and the people hearing Laurel saw a white and gold one. pic.twitter.com/aBWpWJwzn6

If I listen to music for 5 minutes I hear Yanny. If I don't listen to anything for a while I hear Laurel. I think it's your brain adjusting to frequencies.

Bro it¡¯s the opposite for me when You sped it up I could hear the laurel but when it¡¯s normal all I hear is yanny ?

I hear both, but the "yanny" is so quiet I don't know how anyone can't hear "laurel." On my phone, if I volume down I hear yanny much clearer. If i mute the speaker with my thumb a bit, I can't hear yanny at all. It's definitely laurel though, the yanny is an audio illusion.
