The original audio on vocabulary.com says "laurel" clearly without the noise and spectrum losses that the viral audio has so it's impossible to hear "Yanny" from it. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/laurel Yeah that's true as well. People saying it's laurel are being obtuse, the sound was heavily tampered with. Seems like it's both. This is not true. My girlfriend played the original voxabulary.com clip over and over again for me yesterday and SWORE she only heard yanny, while I clearly heard laurel. I listened to the vocabulary.com clip using two separate devices and three different output devices, and it's unambiguously "laurel."
