It's called psychoacustics, a crash course in Acustic Engineering, how different frequencies are received by the auditorial canal and captured by the eardrum, some come out louder, others lower, this varies from person to person since the human body is imperfect and even the shape of the ear can affect your perception, the speaker set can also affect if you heard the first or the second (ie I hear Yanny on my PC but hear Laurel on the TV). It's a trick with frequencies, even if they are different letters, the frequencies used are similar enough to be confused.
Cats and dogs for example, some time before earthquakes alot of pets go missing, they are usually found on top of hills and high ground, but causation is still debated. Since EQ creates magnetic and ultrasonic perturbations, before, during and after, it's a reasonable theory.
>For a dozen years a theory has been advanced in the south San Francisco Bay area that when an extraordinarily large number of dogs and cats are reported in the "Lost and Found" section of the San Jose Mercury News, the probability of an earthquake striking the area increases significantly (Maryanski, 1985; Allstetter, 1986). These earthquake predictions, based on two other criteria as well (Wells, 1985), specify that an earthquake of Richter magnitude between 3.5 to 5.5 will occur within a 70-mile radius of downtown San Jose in a designated time period. A success ratio of 80% over the last 12 years was claimed (Allstetter, 1986). However, seismologists do not accept this method of predicting earthquakes; McNutt and Heaton (1981) refute one of the other two criteria.
