Brainstorm or green needle? The new Yanny or Laurel

After Yanny and Laurel, a new audio illusion is dividing the internet. This time, it was taken from a 2014 YouTube review of a children's toy.

The toy is saying 'brainstorm', but many people are saying they can also hear 'green needle', depending on which word they concentrate on before hearing the sound. What do you hear?

The Guardian on YouTube:

i don't hear both. I just hear 'Brain Needle' 😂

[albion]

for those of you who don't know, this is the character 'Brainstorm' from ben 10. he has a strong british accent that seems to be showing through when the toy repeats it's name. still dont explain the phantom extra syllables however.

no matter how hard i try man, , all i can hear is brain needle

[jns]

I hear on whatever I concentrate! Sometimes its brainstorm, sometimes green needle, sometimes even green storm or sometimes EVEN BRAIN NEEDLE😂😂😁😁

[SerialGemini]

This one is so much better because I can pick what word to say in my head and then it'll say that word, no matter if I'm covering my eyes or looking at the videos(with or without texts). It's so impressive at how your brain can just switch these two words like that.

I can hear both, and can also here “Brain needle” and “Green storm” 😂😂

[Gemini-Lion]

I *WANT* to hear “Brainstorm, ” but every time I try, I hear “Brain Needle.” Every time I don’t try, I hear “Green Needle” though..

[horseconfused]

Its crazy how much the sound changes depending on what word you’re reading

[ryanc]

I just hear green needle and brain needle

[TransistorBased]

I like my ambiguous audio the same way I like my chicken. Extra crispy

[EpicEagleGaming]

I heard brain storm the green needle then brain needle

[unknownhorse]

Guy: Give it to me Laurel
Her: Who's Yanny?

[lady_katieeeee]

literally no matter how hard I try, I cannot hear the word "Needle" at all
I either hear "Barinstorm" or "Greenstorm", and even now im losing the ability to hear "Greenstorm" at all lol

[kkrocks]

NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY I CAN’T GET MY BRAIN TO HEAR BRAINSTORM

[HexDom]

That's crazy. At first i thought i was only hearing Green Needle but it completely depended on what i was focusing on in my head. If i imagined hearing Brainstorm, i would hear that next, if i imagined hearing Green Needle, i would hear that, etc. But with the Yanny vs Laurel, i literally only heard Laurel.

[GreenGamerNathan]

I literally can't figure out how people hear "storm"

[D-i]

6 years later, I'm still getting my head round this.

[Tegan-ipfl]

I hear brain needle and green needle and I can switch between hearing both

[AGglittersparkle]

I can actually choose what I want to hear OMG

[Egyptian_royalty]

Listen and close your eyes and think greenstorm and brainneedle and you will hear those too lol !! 😂😂
