The Yanny v Laurel Debate

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.
This is what happened to me. I heard Yanny on the first 2/3 plays and then it gradually changed to Lauren. Now I can’t hear Yanny no matter how hard I try and it’s blatantly Laurel. I’m 25 if that matters :lol:
