The sound heard when listening to a seashell is in fact the echo of the blood pulsing in the listener's own ear. ---- What utter tosh. Please don't answer a question if you're guessing. Nothing to do with the blood in the listener's ear, or anywhere else for that matter. The sound is ambient noise from the environment filtered and warped by resonance effects in the shell.
