How do I Hear the Sound of Sea in a Seashell?

On a sunny Sunday bech is fun. Isn't it more fun to collect seashells to hear sea and ocean sounds. How do the sea shells replay the recorded sound of the ocean?




Let's bust the truth!
All noises around you enter the sea shell along with the air that flows through it. So what happens to the sound waves entering the sea shell?
 1. The sound waves are resonated. In other words reflected. This explains teh chaos....All the surrounding noises are mixed up and comes out through the shell, the region through which you hear as a different but modified frequencies. Needless to say, the glazed and spiral shape of the sea shell amplifies the reflection of the sound waves inside the sea shell. Thus there is an amplification of the phenomenon of resonance.

2.  These chatic noises or sound waves that emerge from the sea shell into our ears are manipulated by our human brain that is vivid that the noise is coming out of the sea shell and the fact that we hear "sound of the sea" in the sea shell. So the brain network interconnects this chaotic noise to "sound of the sea" which is also a chaotic noise as the waves dash against the sand and each other.



And here is how you can have them trapped for ever digitally. :-)
