This audio has everyone wondering how you would hear the opposite thing to what they hear. I personally hear Yanny a lot more than Laurel so that means that I'm used to hearing high frequencies more than low frequencies. But The big question is: Do you hear Yanny or Laurel? Or do you hear both? And how does it work?
The secret is frequency, The acoustic information that makes us hear yanny is higher frequency than the acoustic information that makes us hear Laurel. You may start to hear the opposite of what you heard before if you were to change your headset or the speaker the sound comes out from, But some of it is the mechanics of your ears and what you're expecting to hear.
It’s also your brain, Not only is it filling in what it thinks the sound should be. What you hear is shaped in some way by your previous experiences. This is most obvious with music. So let's say you're in a noisy place, Your brain is filling in what it doesn’t quite hear,
You start to lose your hearing for high frequency ranges when you get a little older, So if you were to play the audio to your parents they will properly hear laurel more than yanny because yanny has a higher frequency than laurel and they start to lose their hearing for high frequencies. So if you were to remove all the low frequencies you will hear yanny but if you remove all the high frequencies you will hear laurel.
