I agree. It is really silly, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Some have said there is a higher voice that says "yanny," yet, I for the life of me, cannot hear it at all.
They traced the original file back to a site that gives correct pronunciations, and the original word is actually "Laurel."
I am wondering, if someone added something to file to cause all of this controversy.
I guess if we focus on this, we don't notice the world imploding around us.
