A sound comprises of several frequencies.

However, some people have a greater sensitivity to higher frequencies in a sound.

While others have a greater sensitivity to lower frequencies.

I have a greater sensitivity towards chocolates.

In this audio clip, the higher frequency forms the sound Yanny and the lower frequency forms Laurel.

So, if you have a greater sensitivity to higher frequencies, then you will probably hear Yanny.

Whereas, if you have a greater sensitivity
to lower frequencies, then you might hear Laurel.

In addition to this, age could also affect
the frequencies we hear.

This is because as we age, we begin to lose
our ability to perceive higher frequencies.

Hence, older people tend to hear Laurel, while younger people hear Yanny.
