I hear Laurel in a deep male voice and can't imagine hearing Yanni in a high pitch voice. I am an older male who has lost a lot of his upper frequency hearing due to using way too many loud power tools for too long. Chainsaws, circular saws, nailguns, and riding mowers were my main offenders.

Loud sounds didn't bother me when I was younger but as I got older, they really bothered me more and more. Even using a quieter tool, I now wear 3M Peltor X5A hearing protection. They are so quiet, it is weird to wear them.

The article mentions that if you suppress the high frequency, people hear Laurel. If you suppress the low frequency, people hear Yanni. My ears can't hear the high frequency, so I get Laurel.
