You may remember the great Yanny v Laurel debate of 2018 which saw the internet world divided on what was being said.

Laura Hermawati recently posted a video to her Instagram that has users divided yet again on this new optical illusion.

The video of Laura reacting is only seconds long but I can guarantee you will find yourself listening to it more than once.

The voice says a short phrase which may be indistinguishable to some.

However, Laura provides two written options on the screen: "green needle" and "brain storm";.

You may think to yourself "these phrases do not sound alike".

Well have a listen while reading, or simply thinking, of one phrase and I can guarantee that is what you will hear.

You can try it again with the other phrase for the same mind-blowing result.

Instagram users went into a frenzy over the video.

One comment said: "How? I could hear both."

Another asked: "How is this possible?"

A third user shared in the confusion, writing, "it really worked...I can't believe it...what is this?"

While you ponder this question, close your eyes and listen to the video again!
