I wish to disconnect with you on a personal level.

There is no way that this could be Yanny.

This is not saying laurel, this is only saying yanny.

It's just...  it's bananas, but I only hear Yanny.

Some people have really been enjoying this debate

while others are completely over it, including myself so

and how is this phenomenon even happening?

I decided that I'm just gonna reach out to the source

So I reached out to this guy named Roland

and he actually was pretty quick to respond.

He said that he came across the words on a website

when he working on a project a long time ago.

who was doing homework with my sister said,

I don't remember the name of the website unfortunately."

he actually found this audio clip on vocabulary.com,

which is incredible because it solves the problem

We can definitely say the word is laurel,

but we can't argue that it sounds like yanny.

There are a few theories that I had heard

like the differences would become more transparent to the audience,

(Mario) It's likely to be laurel, would be my guess, yes.

So I decided to put this theory to the test.

I put the audio through one of my editing programs

but as I started going lower and lower in pitch,

I started to hear Yanny clearer and clearer.

so when you go in the opposite direction,

Well it means we can stop talking about it.
