i don't think it's 100% your audio gear. my gf and i are in the same room and she hears laurel.

it's definitely possible that it's partly responsible for some people though

It was all Yanny for me at first, then I turned my phone down low and held the speaker up by my ear and it gradually morphed to Laurel over a dozen or so listens, now it’s Laurel no matter what I do, no going back it seems

It was Yanny on my laptop earlier today. Just heard Laurel on my phone, and now on my laptop, it's Laurel, too.

I didn't even change the sound at all and i distinctly hear yanny in the OP and laurel from the link. So it's some unknown combination of audio factors. Another mystery half-assed

I dunno the OP just sounds like Casey Kasem got his dick stuck in a toaster saying YANNY but the laurel one sounds normal.
