I hear both.

I think there is some recording or audio processing anomaly that is causing the upper harmonics to be overrepresented in the recording. Speaker is saying laurel, but the harmonics sound like yanny. Depending on both the listener's level of hearing loss and the quality of the playback device, they may hear the higher or lower tones more clearly.

I don't think it's so simple. I only hear Laurel, even when playing the higher or lower frequency. I have no hearing loss and am using quality headphones. When the audio was slowed down I could hear yannie.
