I heard "bourbon. Bourbon. Bourbon..."
Glad I am not the only one!
I heard "bourbon. Bourbon. Bourbon..."
I think it's both words at the same time, but at significantly different frequencies. I think anyone who hears "Yanny" still retains more of their high frequency hearing than most of us. The "Laural" is clearly lower frequency and easier for most of us over 35 or so to hear clearly.
Same principle used in some sonic "weapons" designed by older folks to annoy younger folks.
It's used in the UK so that folks under 25 don't gather in front of some shops.

And brilliant!
I used this as an example in some of my physics and physical science lectures years ago. The students were skeptical until we played sounds that some of them could hear clearly, but the older students and I could not.
Maybe the device is brilliant but I don't think using it to discriminate against an entire group based only on their age is brilliant.
Clearly not all folks under 25 are trouble and plenty of folks above that age are.
You could have pretended to hear the sound clearly to appear younger.
"OMG my hears, turn it off now! Uh ... Sir, it's not even on."
age-ist. I hear higher frequencies just fine.Maybe the device is brilliant but I don't think using it to discriminate against an entire group based only on their age is brilliant.

Screw your ears... how about your eyes?
If I could screw my ears, I'd never leave the house.
OMG!!! That's murder spelled backwards!!!!!!
