 * __WHY DO YOU HEAR OCEAN SOUNDS IN A SEASHELLS? __**

Sea shells do not really make any sound of their own. Inside they have many hard curved surfaces, which are good reflectors for sounds. So any sound waves that get inside are jumbled up by all kinds of echoes. When you hold the shell up to your ear you hear the noise of all those sounds get mixed together in to echoes. That does sound a lot like the noise of the ocean sounds.

__You put the opening __ __of the shell up to you ear __ 

Some people say that the noise you hear coming from the shell is the blood rushing through your ears making an echo of the sounds of the ocean.
