MY HUSBAND'S PARSE IS BETTER THAN YOURS

Sagebrush posted:

It's definitely much closer to laurel than yanny, and laurel is the first and most obvious sound I hear. There's an article by an audiologist/linguist linked later in the thread that bears this out.

here is a spectrogram of a real human being saying "yanny:"


and saying "laurel:"


and here's a spectrogram of the yanny/laurel sound:


It's pretty fuckin obvious which one is closer to reality.

The guy who recorded it has a weird speech impediment and his recording sucked. He was obviously saying laurel because it's a word and yanny isn't, but I was able to hear both words through my phone speaker just by changing how close it was to my ear. Everybody is right except the guy who recorded the file. He needs to go to a speech therapist.

i have had my color vision professionally tested and i score in the 99th percentile. perhaps your blue cones are weaker, which is why you perceive a wider range of colors as blue?

I think it’s a computer. That’s likely part of why if you hear “Yanny” it sounds like it’s coming out of the Intellivision speech synth module:

The high frequencies that make the Yanny sound are recognizable but not natural speech patterns.

dont even TRY it, pal
I can hear yanny, but only if I drown out the booming, overwhelming voice of the guy clearly saying "laurel" over top. Those who can't hear laurel are loving incomprehensible.

they might legitimately need to get their hearing checked; it's possible they're not able to hear the lower frequencies as well as others

I went to a lot of punk shows without earplugs in my youth and got blasted with an LRAD at a protest as a young adult and I attribute my inability to make any sense of some sort of Laurel-like phenomenon to these two factors

It really depends on your speaker quality. The "Laurel" is really bassy so when I listen just over my phone's speakers I don't hear it unless I'm in a really quiet place, but with my headphones I can hear both clearly

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Forget the dress, forget Laurel Yanny. Do you hear fundamental tones or overtones?

http://www.galaxyclassics.com/index.php/en/recordingen/audiostuff/70-overtone

(Sorry about having to download the audio file, this should really be made into a youtube video or something.)

It doesn't seem to matter if you listen to it on lovely laptop speakers or a three thousand dollar sound system. It turns out people just hear differently. I once ran this experiment at a crowded movie night in a friend's home theater and got some very energetic disagreements. There was no obvious correlation with age or sex or anything else we could think of.

fundamental tones 4 lyfe, all you overtoners be crazy
