No difference for me regardless of device. I hear "Yammy" unless the high frequencies are filtered out.Still Laurel through the iPhone's speaker.

The Times' slider has different change points when moving right to left than it does moving left to right. For me, moving left to right, I start hearing "yeewy" at 7.5, when starting at 5 with a clear 'laurel'. When starting at 10, it goes from 'yelly', through 'yerry' and 'yeewy' until 5.5, where it changes back to 'laurel'. This is on the laptop speakers.
On the system, it stays 'laurel' longer when moving the slider from left to right - I can hear both between 7.5 and 8.5. The exaggerated 'laurel' at 1 through 5 has a component that sounds like one is in a culvert or tube of some sort. The far right position 10 sounds like 'yail-ee'.
At no time or position do I hear an 'n' sound.
It's bullshit. Two different playbacks to generate differences in opinions and further the commentary. I played the audio for several people and asked what they heard and they said "Yanni". I played a different audio for "Yanni vs Laurel" to the same folks and they heard "Laurel". I'm done...
...
I am stunned to read so many 'Yanny' replies. I wonder how many Yanny-hearers were listening on their phones? Would any of you change your mind after listening through earbuds, headphones, or your main system? I am really curious.
I'm going to try it through my iPhone 6...
And for the record, I heard "long blonde hair" in that Fine Young Cannibals song for years until I finally learned the actual lyrics...
You also forgot to mention that before leaving for work for the day we also point our speakers at an open window, and crank Yanni on repeat, just to piss off the neighbourhood.
I also wonder, and do think phone playback is a large part of it too.
I think percentage wise more women hear Yanni than men do.
Oh, so you’re THAT neighbour.Crank away. I only hear "Laurel", so it will have no effect on me.
I heard it when I used my Audioquest speaker cables, deep and resonant bullshit, swapped out with some Cardas cables to see if there was any difference, but wimpy bullshit spewed forth.Is it like a real wimpy Pee- Wee Herman "bullshit", or a deep resonant James Earl Jones "bullshit"?
Oh, so you’re THAT neighbour.
I’ll blast the Beiber instead!
