Interessante akustische Variante eines klassischen Hirnficks, die die Frage stellt, ob man in den vier Sekunden „Yanny“ oder „Laurel“ hört. Offensichtlich gibt es darauf unterschiedliche Antworten, die unterschiedlichen Faktoren geschuldet sind.
What do you hear?! Yanny or Laurel pic.twitter.com/jvHhCbMc8I

Bei Verge macht man sich an eine wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung: It has to do with your sound card, your ears, and your brain.
The secret is frequency. The acoustic information that makes us hear Yanny is higher frequency than the acoustic information that makes us hear Laurel. Some of the variation may be due to the audio system playing the sound.. But some of it is also the mechanics of your ears, and what you’re expecting to hear. Older adults tend to start losing their hearing at the higher frequency ranges.. It’s a phenomenon you can mimic on a computer.. if you remove all the low frequencies, you hear Yanny. If you remove the high frequencies, you hear Laurel
