Re:A Linguist Explains Why 'Laurel' Sounds Like 'Yanny' by tobr on Thursday May 17, 2018 @01:50AM (#17089052)
Thanks for posting, to me that was a much more potent illusion. I can hear whatever combination of brain/green and needle/storm I’m thinking of.

It’s interesting how both this and the yanny/laurel example are recordings of low quality speakers. I guess the added harmonics from the distortion in the playback causes the sounds to be more ambiguous than they would otherwise be.
