Indeed, even the Daily Dot staff became at vicious odds with one another by the time the debate bubbled to a simmer in Slack. There are actually two separate voices in the recording: one sounds like "Laurel" at a lower frequency whereas the other sounds like "Yanny" at higher frequencies. But then, THEN, I listened to it on my laptop and heard Laurel, and now I can't unhear Laurel and I'm so mad at myself for it. Perhaps, in these trying political times, we're feeling nostalgic for the simpler times as another mystery has befallen the people of social media.

. Your mind is being told to look for something and it then creates that thing by stitching together what you're hearing. You know, is it white and gold or blue and black?

'Obviously this also depends on individual physiology and on what you expect to hear.

So the only right answer here is that there isn't one.

Since The Dress came out, we've learned a number of facts that have shed some light on why the illusion occurs, though the full mechanistic pathway remains incompletely known.
