I'm not convinced it has anything to do with the frequency as my brain keeps swapping between both words.
It reminds me of when you're listening to a familiar song and your brain latches onto the beat a couple of microseconds too late, so they whole song sounds out of synch and unfamiliar. It seems like this word is the same. What you hear depends on where your brain tells you the word begins.

I was just wondering the other day when somebody was going to get around to using the whimsical 'ukes and handclaps' cute animal video music in a sinister context.

on my computer "Yanny" or actually "Yammi" whether through internal speakers or good headphones. Nothing at all like "Laurel"

that whitehouse video almost makes me believe that this whole thing was manufactured to divert attention away from gaza. at the very least, it's got me questioning why trump is appearing in a comedy sketch when he should be focusing on a crisis that his actions stoked the coals of

I thought a lot about why it made me so mad and I think it’s because I’ve spent too much time playing speech samples through filters so I’m really inured to the phenomenon in question - I can actually do a really good “beatbox” of it unplugged - so when everyone was like “wow I can hear both” my jaded mind couldn’t help itself. OF COURSE YOU FUCKING CAN IT’S JUST ABOUT WHICH FREQUENCIES ARE EMPHASIZED AND HOW BRAINS WORK, GAAAWWWWD.
