    I got a message stating a social media software wanted me to accept its cookies, concluded I really don't give a rat's ass what the damn thing sounds like, and moved on.

    People hear a high-pitched Yanni, or a low-pitched Laurel.

    Now here's another one.

    Is he saying "Ivanka" or "I want her"?

    Someone said (and I have tried this) that you can adjust the treble or bass (I forget which one) on your speakers to allow you to hear one or the other.

    I think it's both words at the same time, but at significantly different frequencies. I think anyone who hears "Yanny" still retains more of their high frequency hearing than most of us. The "Laural" is clearly lower frequency and easier for most of us over 35 or so to hear clearly.

    This is the thoughts i ended up with last night when going over this with my wife. She thought I was bonkers because I could hear laurel from the get go. I found the same video Kut posted and it has be all the way down to the low frequencies only before she can here laurel and I can hear both when it’s at the higher frequencies.

    I listened to it just now on my ham radio (use it for FM at my desk) and the first time Dana Loesch played it I heard "yaurel". Weird.
