Wololo or Neeneenee : Age of Empires 2 Priest Sound
Video available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPjLdqe_tbM
Wololo or Neeneenee. Which one is it? Did you hear right?
I'd like to talk about something that puzzled me growing up. The age of empires priest sound. I always heard it differently to how it was written. I've done some searching online and it seems to be that the majority of the population hears wololo and the minority hears what I hear neeneenee. References attached at bottom.
I've been frustrated quite a bit because I can't hear the wololo. Yes I know, it's the most important thing in the world going on at this moment. But after doing the google searches, I'm not alone, thank goodness it's not just me, and someone posted a solution to hear each version which involves speeding up and down the audio clip.
So today I'd like to show you 3 clips.
The normal version
The Neeneenee version (for those who hear wololo)
and the Wololo version (for those who hear neeneenee)
I'll play all 3 of them in a row and then I'll talk a little about the 2nd and 3rd version after.

First of all what I hear. Neeneenee.
This is played at 0.5 times slower, and I'm really hoping that the people out there who hear wololo hear what I hear. Neeneenee. This is very exaggerated and to my ears and there does not seem to be any instances of a w, woh or any l, loh sounds at all.
Second. Wololo.
This is played back at speed of 1.5 times faster. And here I clearly hear the wololo that everyone is writing and talking about. When I hear it in this format I can see what people mean when they say, how on earth do you hear Neeneenee
And yes, I think that is the mystery at this stage. This phenomenon reminds be of the blue black and gold and white dress thing that went across the world for a while.
Is there something to do with the structure of our ears or audio signals to the brain that is different.
So the two different sounds of Wololo. Which one do you hear? Any thoughts or explanations to whats going on?
And perhaps when I say something to my wife and she says she says heard something different and we have an argument. Is there is a scientific explaination to it? Or does our marriage just need some work? Just joking.
