I guess there's also this article about exactly the same thing (a different clip, though) from a few weeks ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanny_or_Laurel I can't find a specific name, but it's just generally that if you're primed to expect to hear something in a noisy signal, you can hear it.
No, I imagine most of the famous ones are linked from the "auditory illusion" page. I've spent a lot more time reading about visual illusions. There was a good TED talk about those.

I was really happy for the fact that I won the inter-galatic best magician award. So I decided to throw a party of $n$ people (excluding me).
The people who came to that party was jealous, really jealous of each other. Some people were not jealous of each other, but some - if not most - people,...
Inspired by this question series, which was inspired by this question. They give rise to beautiful pictures (at least in the eye of the beholder mathematician) and some nice generalizable solutions.
Together, they make eight questions of the type 'take a pentomino and some rectangle-shaped tiles...
