Apparently we lose it naturally as we get older. Working environment, loud music, and playing in bands can also cause damage earlier from what I've just been reading.Isn’t it the case that younger people can hear higher frequencies than older people? Hence various councils putting high frequency noise transmitters in places where teenagers congregate?

I'm definitely a Laurel.
ha’way then,hoy a pic of your pussy upSlightly more bizarre, when I was playing it, the cat (if you want) started going mental, ran up to the phone, started meowing and trying to find out what the noise was. That's not something she normally does.
Pretty sure it’s an engineered sound like. I find the first bit quite indistinct, like an old ZX spectrum Currah micro speech. But the second syllable ends in an “E” sound clear as day on the radio.Saw this earlier today, and gave it a try.
At first, I could hear Yanny, in a slightly higher, weird accent (to what came later). I tried to hear Laurel but just couldnt, so I tried using headphones - after about 4 more plays, the Y started to change to an L, and then about 2 plays later it was clearly Laurel.
Now, I can't hear Yanny even if I try.
Its a clever little trick. I wonder what they did to create that sound effect - I suspect it was engineered. The Initial letter sounds a bit off either way if you notice.
well it's clearly Yanny for me and I'm approaching retirementIsn’t it the case that younger people can hear higher frequencies than older people? Hence various councils putting high frequency noise transmitters in places where teenagers congregate?
Didn't even know about this until I spotted it on the BBC site. What do you hear? Clearly Yanny for me. Apparently it means I can hear higher frequencies than the people who hear Laurel. No idea if that is a good or bad thing, like. Any auditory boffins care to explain?
Won't work for me (work pc). That said, I know I can hear really high frequency noise as one of the lads found out on a recent training course. He had a 'dog whistle' app on his phone & would set it high enough that no-one could hear it, then slowly bring it down until it was annoying the shit out of me; no-one else had a clue what I was on about.Didn't even know about this until I spotted it on the BBC site.
