Apparently it’s all about high-frequency sounds?
Okay, you're not crazy. If you can hear high freqs, you probably hear "yanny", but you *might* hear "laurel". If you can't hear high freqs, you probably hear laurel. Here's what it sounds like without high/low freqs. RT so we can avoid the whole dress situation. #yanny #laurel 🙄 pic.twitter.com/RN71WGyHwe

My hearing isn’t great with high frequencies, and I definitely hear ‘laurel,’ not ‘yanni.’ I’m ready to accept this as a tentative answer to the controversy. Or, well, micro-fad.
