Yanny/Laurel

Gordon-not-Ramsay

You may be aware of the auditory illusion of Yanny/Laurel. The two names are spoken simultaneously, and yet your brain only hears either Yanny or Laurel (theres "brainstorm" & "green needle" too).

The reason I mention this is because I often hear spoken words in white noise or external sound. I wonder if it has a connection with the auditory illusion.

I would walk down the street with a bag on my shoulder, and the bag rubs rhythmically against my jeans as I move. The sound created sometimes sounds like dialogue, as if there is a spoken word hidden in the sound.

Any thoughts on this? Is it to do with auditory processing? Is it an autistic trait? Does anyone else share this weird hearing experience?

  • When the cistern is filling in the toilets at work I keep thinking I can hear a faint radio underneath it, that there is some music. I have it a home sometimes for certain sounds. There is no music, and there is nothing outside. I am just imagining it.

    I just thought it was weird until you mentioned it.i
