Are 2 people standing together listening from the same device hearing different things ?

My wife only heard Yanny the entire time regardless of the pitch changes, while I heard some of each.

I feel this is important: the dress was GOLD and BLUE. Yup. Gold and blue.

I only hear Laurel, no matter how hard I try. (And the dress is black and blue)
Update, I can now change it back and forth at will.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

That is not the OP. The OP recorded the robotic pronounciation of the word "Laurel" from vocabulary.com.

Now answer the damn question!!!  :)
How do you want your crow cooked.  :P

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanny_or_Laurel

Benjamin Munson, a professor of hearing sciences at the University of Minnesota, suggested that "Yanny" can be heard in higher frequencies while "Laurel" can be heard in lower frequencies.[11] Older people, whose ability to hear higher frequencies is more likely to have degraded, usually hear "Laurel"
