So this is another of those what color is the dress things, except now people are hearing a different word. Me, I’m clearly hearing one word, so it’s unclear how anyone could hear the other.
But then the dress was CLEARLY white and gold. 
I hear nothing but “Laurel” there. I can’t even get my ears to hear “Yanny.”

Apparently it’s supposed to change if you mix your sound with a different amount of bass, but I can’t figure out how to make Windows 10 do that, and don’t care enough to spend that much time on it.
Yorrel.
Sounds like “Yarry” to me. Not even a hint of Laurel. And no N sound really.
This.
I don’t even see how those words could ever be similar? There’s no “ee” sound in the spoken word.
Yanny, but I thought the dress was white and gold.
I hear a Y, never an L anywhere.
Yammy!
My wife is hearing ‘yally’, and my son heard ‘Yahweh’. Clearly this poll does not have enough options.
I’m the exact opposite.

It apparently has to do with the frequencies you can hear. “Yanni” is transmitted at the upper range of human-audible frequencies around 20kHz while “Laurel” is transmitted at lower freqs. I’m surprised a man in his mid-30s like myself can still hear around 20kHz.
It might have been interesting to split the poll along gender and age lines. Perhaps posters could mention that along with what they hear.
My son just played it for me. I heard “Yarry.”

This. The middle consonant sounds more like an m than an n. I also hear a very slight d just before the y in yammy, almost like the speaker wanted to say dammy but changed it’s mind and said yammy instead.
Or Rabbinical approval.
Whoa, that was totally weird for me. The first four times I heard yanny, clear as a bell. Then it changed to laurel, and now I can’t hear yanny again. So strange.
At first I just heard a relatively high-pitched voice saying YANNY. Then I tried to hear where the LAUREL was supposed to be, and once I heard it, that’s all I could hear.
Yeah, it sounds more like Yammy than anything else.
I could only hear Laurel. But I’m hard of hearing, and apparently those that hear Yanny are hearing upper registers that aren’t audible to everyone.
