Truthfully, I heard “Yanny” on FoxNews on my television, but I heard “Laurel” on FoxNews on XM in my truck.

That is like mine. I heard Yanny on the phone speaker and Laurel on some decent headphones. I figured the perception was frequency spectrum related.

Another poster mentioned this - hearing it differently from different sources. Probably to due with the frequency response of the source and/or speakers. My kids were doing this the other day. My son could hear both. My daughters hears the higher pitched one. Then when my son explained the lower voice one, one daughter could hear both, and the other daughter could only hear the low-pitched one! (Initially only hearing the high pitched one!!??)

Reminds me of those visual tricks with the various things - do you see the beautiful gal or the ugly hag? I think there are some things that you can do to confuse your sense of touch as well - can’t recall what they are now.

Same here. Heard the clip play on ‘The Five’ in my truck on SiriusXM, and only heard laurel. But listening to youtube clips I only hear yanny.
