Which Do You Hear

Which Do You Hear
I also posted this in the Off Topic thread as well. Which do you hear. Yanny or Laurel? Who hear's Yanny and who hear's Laurel?  So what's going on?

Nothing is going on. Those words sound absolutely nothing like each other. It's obviously Laurel. Those words sound completely different.

This is why it's always Laurel and Hardy and never Yanny and Hardy.

Definitely Yanny. I hear a distinct Y sound at the beginning.

OK, at first I heard 'Yanny'. Then I went to this website and fiddled with the slider.

I put the slider on the far left and heard 'Laurel'. Then I gradually moved it to the right in small increments.

Now, I hear 'Laurel' on the far right and 'Laurel' in the OP version. I don't hear 'Yanny' at all.

I'm going to give it some time and see if I can regain 'Yanny' and slide from the right and totally negate 'laurel'.

Is this an auditory illusion, analogous to an optical illusion?

I think it has more to do with what pitches your ears are attuned. Is is similar to the way people experience yellow differently based on the proportion of red to green cones on an individual's retina.
