A sound clip has people debating which word they are actually hearing: Laurel or Yanny? Some people who listen to the audio clip swear they hear the voice say "Yanny." Others listen to the audio and say they hear "Laurel" while others report hearing both or even different words altogether. The White House staff made a video with their own reactions to hearing the recording. Stick around to the very end to find out what Trump hears.

The debate over which word is spoken in the clip started after Reddit user Roland Camry posted it last Monday. The 20-year-old Instagram personality Cloe Feldman tweeted it, and it took off from there. It gained airtime on most major and local media outlets and was shared in thousands of groups.
Some users speculated it could have to do with the age or the frequencies people can hear. It has even stirred up some heated arguments which have turned into a large-scale uproar.

The debate is reminiscent of a debate in 2015 over whether the color of a dress was blue or gold. A professor of speech and language named Brad Story at The University of Arizona explained the phenomenon by saying part of the reason people hear different words is the low quality of the audio file which allows for ambiguity.
"When I analyzed the recording of Laurel, that third resonance is very high for the L. It drops for the R and then it rises again for the L," Story said. "The interesting thing about the word Yanny is that the second frequency that our vocal track produces follows almost the same path, in terms of what it looks like spectrographically, as Laurel. If you have a low quality of the recording, it's not surprising some people would confuse the second and third resonances flipped around, and hear Yanny instead of Laurel."
Story added that if you change the pitch of the original recording, it is possible to hear both words.
The White House released the following video:

Yeah, I'm a Yanny as well. listened to all the other altered recordings and it's always Yanny. Do we need to get an army together or something? Those other folks seem like they are gunning for us.
Laurel here on both my pc and ipad. cannot even get close to yanny trying.
I hear Laurel in the first recording at the top. I hear Yanny in the White House 's video.
I was hearing Laurel last night and this AM but now it changed and all I hear is yanny. Odd!!!!
