It’s just to do with how your ears identify different frequencies.

Young people tend to be more sensitive to high frequencies (remember those anti loiter alarms that only teenagers could hear?) so can hear one aspect of the sound that older people can’t.

Older people will hear the lower frequency more prominent as the higher one isn’t being heard, resulting in hearing/perceiving a different word being said.

Science bitches

"Laurel! Don't know how people heard Yanny lol"

I agree with this. Laurel until they actually said Yanny and both at the same time

This is interesting. Scroll down the article and there are examples of the same audio clip pitch-shifted.

At higher frequencies it's 100% Laurel to my ears.

Seems to depend on the device you're listening to it on.

I've heard both. I heard one on the car stereo and the other through laptop speakers.

This would support the frequency theory.
