I've heard it 9 or 10 times and hear nothing but Yanni. They say it's because some ppl's ears pick up a higher frequency than others.
It depends on the speakers you're listening to it through. I listened on my work computer this morning and heard Laurel. While driving in my truck, the radio station I was listening to played it and I heard it as Yanny. The version in my truck sounded significantly higher pitched than the one on my work computer. It all depends on the frequency profile of the speakers.
Speakers alone are not the answer. When I was listening to the above link this morning on my work computer, I heard "yanny". At lunch on my phone someone posted a video on FB about this, and at first I heard "yanny", but after trying really hard I was able to hear "laurel". Now when I listen to the above link on my office omputer I hear "laurel", and even though I am trying I cannot hear "yanny" anymore.
This is crazy but it's both. I can actually go back and forth between the two, depending on which word I focus on.
The Yanny is a higher-pitched, more "computerized" voice, while the Laurel is a richer, male baritone.
That's pretty 17'ng cool.
If you focus, you can hear both simultaneously.
ETA: this is interesting...my wife can only hear Laurel. My daughter can only hear Yanni. My son is partially deaf in one ear. He can hear Yanni on the left, and Laurel on the right, but when he doesn't cover an ear it's Yanni.
So weird.

As seen on TV
heard that the device/type that you are listening on makes the difference.

I only heard Yanny. Now after using that slider on the nyt site, I can only hear Laurel. Even when I go back to the original. Cool
I brought the clip into Premiere and it crashed when I started playing with the frequency. I will stay away from this 17'n witchcraft!!*****
