USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Benjamin Munson, a professor of audiology at the University of Minnesota, suggested that “Yanny” can be heard in higher frequencies while “Laurel” can be heard in lower frequencies. Older people, whose ability to hear higher frequencies is more likely to have degraded, usually hear “Laurel".

Detailed explanation-2: -Laurel lies with sound frequency. The sound waves that allow us to hear Yanny is at a higher frequency, whereas the sound waves that allow us hear Laurel are at a lower frequency. As we age, it’s common that we start losing our ability to hear the higher frequency sounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you hear Yanny, you are wrong. It’s Laurel. We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you have higher fidelity audio equipment or are simply better at hearing higher frequency sound, Francis said you are more likely to hear “Yanny.” Otherwise, you are more likely to hear “Laurel."

Detailed explanation-5: -By turning down the treble and turning up the bass, you should be able to hear Laurel. Don’t worry too much about the state of your hearing if you’re a Laurel person. Variations in high frequency perception are normal between person to person.
