Thank you for all your posts! 
Some White House staff weigh in:
“I hear covfefe,” Trump said in a video posted to Twitter Thursday night, seemingly poking fun at himself after he tweeted “covfefe” one year ago.
The video, which also features Vice President Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway getting in on the debate, was posted by the White House days after an audio clip asked listeners to choose whether they heard “Yanny” or “Laurel.”

laurel
I wonder if it has to do with losing higher frequencies as we age. I've heard that there are ring tones that only teenagers can hear.

Yanny without a doubt. BUT I saw it in lovely cursive writing and after a look I could see both.
I can't stand Yani and had a major crush on a girl named Laurel back in the day so I guess it's "Laurel" 
Now the women of the house keep talking about the Brainstorm - Green Needle thing.
... just shoot me!

That one cracked me up because I distinctively heard.... Brain Needle!Now the women of the house keep talking about the Brainstorm - Green Needle thing.

I must be broke I hear both. So dose my son.
Each sound has a similar timing and energy content. It is thought the reason why different people hear a different sound can be explained by frequency.
As Lars Riecke, assistant professor of audition and cognitive neuroscience at Maastricht University, explained to The Verge: "If you remove all the low frequencies, you hear Yanny. If you remove the high frequencies, you hear Laurel.
"If your... ears emphasise both the higher and lower frequencies, you can toggle between the two sounds."
Because the sound is ambiguous, and the words “Yanny” and “Laurel” are said with similar intonation, the mechanics of your ear decide which one you are predisposed to hear.
Younger people, who are generally better at hearing higher sounds, are therefore more likely to hear Yanny, while older people are likely to hear Laurel.
Headphones that are more tinny will result in Yanny standing out more. Meanwhile increased volume appears to make it easier to hear Laurel.
