The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

Never knew it was the sound of the blood flowing, quite interesting.

So next time someone asks me about the sound in the shell. I'll just tell them it is outer space waves that the shell is picking up!:p
Never really thought about it but I am guessing some would hear this a lot louder as well as the blood would flow faster in some than others.
Welp, there's only one logical thing to do, put it to the test.Quote:
