Members Chordite Posted May 18, 2018 Members Share Posted May 18, 2018 This Laurel vs Yanni thing is interesting in that I bet nearly everyone who has played rock guitar for a lifetime hears Laurel. Whereas fresh innocent ears hear YanniUntil I heard the filtered above and below 1500 hz versions I refused to believe there was a yanni there at all. Here is the original and an explainer [video=youtube_share;yDiXQl7grPQ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jazzer2020 Posted May 18, 2018 Members Share Posted May 18, 2018 Oh yes I did hear Laurel a couple of times (car radio and computer speaker).But at the beginning of the track you uploaded I hear Yanny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted May 18, 2018 Members Share Posted May 18, 2018 I heard Laurel and went on listening to find out what this all about.. Then skipped back to the beginning and clearly heard yanny and wondered where did that come from..Freakeytinnitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris Harbin Posted May 18, 2018 Members Share Posted May 18, 2018 yeah, the first time I heard it it was obviously Laurel. Now I seem to hear Yanny most of the time. I can also hear both if I concentrate hard enough. Oh, and I'm 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikesr1963 Posted May 19, 2018 Members Share Posted May 19, 2018 This morning I was watching Steven Colbert and he played this. First time I had caught wind of it and I was not reading the names. He played several times on his show with the audience and then with different people from the White House. On his show I heard Laurel. On the White House clip I heard both Yanni and Laurel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emory Posted May 22, 2018 Members Share Posted May 22, 2018 I guess I need to turn amps up. I hear Yanni, and I am no fan of Yanni's music.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordite Posted May 22, 2018 Author Members Share Posted May 22, 2018 This is interesting, it suggests that different people hear different music. Some are hearing the high frequency song and some are hearing the low frquency song.Its a mixing engineers nightmare.It also explains to me why I always think my speakers are crap but phones are perfect.

Members Jazzer2020 Posted May 23, 2018 Members Share Posted May 23, 2018 Given that I clearly heard Laurel the first two times (car radio and computer speaker) and clearly hear Yanni now on computer speakerwith the above clip I have a feeling that there might be TWO versions circulating.A Yanni version and a Laurel version to further complicate matters!

That's got to be tuff on your hearing, and they will find of soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted May 24, 2018 Members Share Posted May 24, 2018 I smell goosers. When I first heard the pitch shift trick I heard Laurel and then Yanni. The last time I heard it (might be a different clip) it was Laurel and Yallee - just like somebody else here. The guy whose voice it is says the word is laurel per a dictionary listing. So how did Yanni come about and just who and why TF was somebody checking anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your two listening experiences were on very different types of audio systems with very different frequency characteristics. Computer speakers are balanced toward the high end, and thats where the "yanni frequencies" are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Given that I clearly heard Laurel the first two times (car radio and computer speaker) and clearly hear Yanni now on computer speaker" Same computer, same speakers.
