Fox News did a story on this, and at the Fox link I clearly heard "Laurel". It did sound like a low, deep pitch, unlike my first link where I distinctly heard "Yanny".

From my phone speaker and one pair of earbuds I hear laurel.  From my laptop speaker and another pair of earbuds I hear yanny.  I think there are combined issues of what tones various speakers produce combined with what tones various people hear.

I believe you. I just thought it was pretty comical of Trump to say it himself.

I was listening to a podcast earlier where they played this 4 or 5 times in a row.  From the other room where I could barely hear it, I heard Yanny.  Once I walked back in the room with the speaker, I heard laurel.  Of course, they said someone spliced both words in at different frequencies which means different people hear it different.

Grey needo, brey me do. Just crappy sound coming out of a cheap toy. It's the same as in the past when people said they could here something bad coming out of a teletubbies, I think, toy.
