Is this really an encyclopedic subject or just a passing fad? I don’t have a strong opinion either way, I'm just a little surprised by the rapid appearance of this article. JezGrove (talk) 22:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
I am informed by an acquaintance that they hear 'laurel' from the https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel original, whereas they hear 'yanny' from the ogg file presently linked by article, namely: File:YannyLaurel.ogg I don't see much if any information about the provenance of the ogg file. Certainly the files shouldn't be assumed to be equivalent, and the ogg file should be removed, or the article ought to have some remark about this issue.CountMacula (talk) 03:05, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
The original was recorded in 2007 with professional gear and a trained operatic voice, so sounds like what Jones said. The 2009 Szabo bootleg was ripped from computer speakers through library silence into a consumer-grade mic an unknown distance away, and there captured the ghost of "Yanny" that Feldman turned into a 2018 global phenomenon. If you're hearing the phantom word in the unenchanted and non-notable cut, you're either exceptionally tuned for it or your recent expectations tell your brain to hear again what it heard repeated on Twitter before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.60.228.70 (talk) 23:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
If someone wants to nominate this at Did You Know, it should probably be done by tomorrow, and in my opinion, there is plenty of interesting facts in this article. wumbolo ^^^ 18:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
There is a pitched up version to hear Laurel, but no pitched down version to hear Yanny. 2A01:119F:21D:7900:9189:EFB9:B107:6723 (talk) 14:29, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
The article doesn't mention that many people can 'choose' which word to hear or even hear both simultaneously. 80.7.168.14 (talk) 12:14, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
