Which pronunciation of 云 (yun) is correct?

Question

Google Translate has a different pronunciation of 云 (yun) than this website: https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/pronunciation/Yun

The Google Translate one sounds like more the Cantonese pronunciation of "far" whereas the other one is more like "yween".

Which is correct?

The pinyin yun is short form of yuen, so the right pronunciation is yee-woo-en. — 賈可 Jacky, Jun 26 '17 at 2:34
Unless you reside in Hong Kong, which Google translate might switch the pronunciation to Cantonese. — mootmoot, Jun 26 '17 at 11:02

You can go to 汉典 to listen the sound files.

Both 拼音 and 注音 pronounce the same sound.

This is the correct one.
