Need to use headphones for full effect and probably won't be accurate as such depending on what output they have but strawberry float it, fun
So let's mark it with what you can hear in the first video and then your highest pitched sound
Me - Laurel | 15 kHz

:( I just wanted to party and listen to loud music when I was younger, is that so wrong

I can hear all of them and hear Laurel. The guardian seemed to think older people with damaged hearing heard yanny more.

That explains why I can only ever hear Yanny. My hearing is strawberry floated after years of working around aircraft.

You can hear them all?! :shock: That is some super hearing. Are you, by chance, a dog?

I can hear the 14KHz tone and have heard both Yanny and Laurel on different occasions.

I hear Yanny. Then when I put my earphones in - I hear Laurel. What the strawberry float is going on?

I've listened to the clip a few times and I've been able to hear two different things... "Laurel" (which sounds clear) and something like "Yeah-ree" (which sounds slurred). The "Yeah-ree" thing is what I heard the first time I listened to it. :?
