every time you play this it will sound like it's getting higher in pitch

I'm so confused right now
Why is this happening?

Every time I played it, sounded exactly the same - is that what's supposed to happen?
I don't hear Shepard tones in this example because it goes up, then right back down (as opposed to always up or always down as a Shepard tone does).

Don't do this to yourself. Stick to the facts.

I didn’t even listen to it. Just assumed it was another Shepard tone video when in fact it was just a silly noise.

If you don't follow the rising pitch and focus on the highest tone instead, the effect is gone.

I hear 'Yanny' & 'Laurel' alternatively each time I refresh the track

Well it works on me is all I can say, seems to work on others too.

That's OK. Music should create indelible impressions.
