New Laurel and Yanny internet audio a giant Mandela effect experiment ? Yes or no ?

So I just had somebody direct my attention towards this new audio clip circulating across the internet that is generating a lot of debate .
For those of you not familiar -It’s an audio clip where the speak pronounces a certain sound and 2 camps of people are divided on what they are in fact hearing her say .
Some swear by hearing her say “ Yanny”
And others “ Laurel “

Maybe this thread ends up in Skunk works because I’m posting about Mandela effect.

My first thought upon hearing that people are being told to vote on what they are hearing , is that the elites are running an experiment to see who is Mandela effected and who is not .

If Mandela effect is in fact legit it would only stand to reason that one group really is hearing “ Laurel” while the other is hearing “ “Yanny “ And I suppose it would be in TPTB’s best interest to know more..

Of course I’m sure things can be voted upon all the time and people see things differently .. it could be nothing .

But the timing of all of this has got me curious .

Thoughts ATS?

It's a matter of pitch. Pitch it low and it's Yanni. Pitch it high and it's Laurel. Clever, but not mysterious.

It is an interesting theory. Just the other day i was watching some old episodes of "Yanny and Hardy". Those guys are hilariuos.

Why would it be Mandela? I suppose that the new category for anything different or not understood.

I swear i remeber it being yanney not yanny.

I think what our OP is getting at is this. Let's say. For arguments sake the Mandella Effext is caused by different dimensions/tinelines. Those is one dimension/timeline hear Yanny while this in the other hear Laurel. I think the pitch may actually be the cause, as schuyler stated....

Or lets go with Occam...

People hear things differently in this case triggered by pitch which the clip below gives a great way to experience that.

Why would different timelines be happening here at the same time. There is this one line which we are in and interact with each other.

How does this make any sense? Traditionally the Mandela effect was said to do with some people remember a changed past, not people hearing different frequencies. That's kind of like pointing out that color blindness is a sign of the Mandela effect.

I knew what was going on here when they had it on the news. During one broadcast I heard one thing, and during the repeat broadcast I had a few drinks and heard something else. Clearly it had more to do with brainwaves interpreting sounds, than anything else (but now that I write that maybe drinking is part of the Mandela effect)? Nah, "QC" still hold the best science behind this effect)

Though to be fair, if you feel that this is a symptom of the Mandela effect, could you explain why?

Try a similar audio trick/treat, giving an insight into the fact we are lucky to have a brain which can do what it does BUT its by no means perfect

Try this video yourself it shows how the eyes can influence the ears to give different results

They wouldn't. The only way this would be Mandella is if, for example, Laurel and Hardy was actually called Yanny ans Haedy. Otherwise it's just an auditory experiment...

Its saying yanny - anyone who says different is likely a reptilian - this is how you tell who the lizards among us are.

I heard yaily earlier in the day. Then I played it on my computer at home and heard laurel CLEAR AS DAY. I then went back ten minutes later to try again and heard yanni CLEAR AS DAY. I'm confused!

I don’t hear Yanny or Laurel. I hear Ya-way.

I'm trying to fathom how you can get 'Yanny' out of Laurel. The sounds aren't compatible. Say it to yourself a few times. feel how your mouth/ tongue moves with both words.

Something fishy, methinks.

My wife showed this to me no more than an hour ago and she hears "plain as day - Laurel.'" I don't hear either, I hear Yeary...

oh! so close.

on my first listening i heard yanni. played it a few more times and couldn't imagine the same clip saying laurel.

another few times thru and my hearing of it morphed during playback. here are a couple of differences that might help you to get to the other side.

laurel is spoken from a male voice and may actually be a person. yanni is a non-human voice, like the way your kid-brother would make a wierd voice, and it is in the higher tone register.
