it's clearly "yanny". "yanny" is heard by people with better ears; people who hear "laurel" no longer hear the high frequencies

I clearly heard yanni the first time, laurel the second, and yanni again the third.

As a linguist in training, I only hear carefully doctored phonological formants that sit in between 'i' and 'l' ambiguously

To me, it just sounds like both at the same time. Must be the musician in me that's always trying to listen to separate notes/instruments going on at the same time. I maintain that my interpretation is the most prog, because 2 things at once is more complex than 1 thing.

Yanny for reasons mentioned by BaldJean. I may. by some twist of my mind, associate Hardy with Heavy Prog, but Laurel... nah.
