We hear something totally different.”Īnd for some, it has led to a back-and-forth and even a change of heart on what they actually heard. I said that is the reason we always argue. What do you hear?! Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.“I hear Yanny,” one woman said. You can find Seth Horowitz’s book “The Universal Sense: How Hearing Shapes the Mind” here. It may simply take a little patience and questioning our senses. So there’s real hope we can all shift to meet and understand each other in our respective camps. If he listens to Rob Zombie at 120 decibels, then it will be several days before he ever hears ‘Laurel’ again. His brain may have sort of adapted to ‘Yanny.’ It's called auditory adaptation. Attention changes how you process sound a lot. Meanwhile, your husband’s threshold shifted. ![]() So you’re still picking up the bass on your laptop. You lose those low frequencies on your phone. The speakers on your laptop are at least an inch across and your phone speakers are about half an inch. Horowitz: So, even if it's a cheap laptop, the bass gets punched up to make it sound slightly better. He only hears ‘Yanny’ on both devices now, and I hear ‘Yanny’ on his phone and at the exact same time I’m hearing ‘Laurel’ on my laptop.

Same acoustic environment, same device, same subjects, trying to like, minimize anything that could possibly influence or alter the outcome. Morris: Okay interesting, um, but he started hearing ‘Yanny’ before we watched television, after we got back from dinner. If you listen to it, then you go home and watch television and it's something with a lot of throbbing bass or just a lot of deep voices–your ears and your brain have been hearing all this low-pitch stuff and suddenly you play the same sound from before–your brain’s a little bit tired of all the low pitch stuff and you emphasized the high pitch because it wasn't there before. A lot of this is just that you've got this signal which is ambiguous and your brain is interpreting. We're always undergoing temporary threshold shifts. Over the course of the day your hearing changes. If you play something with a good bass for a while, it can reduce your bass sensitivity and so you're more sensitive to the higher frequencies. Horowitz: Because all that can cause a temporary threshold shift. Was it something bass-driven? Were you listening to something loud? But it's also a matter of what you were watching on television. That's just an issue you have with sound. Horowitz: First of all, expectations can shape it. ![]()
