Sound waves?

121 views

I’m assuming this is the reason you “hear the ocean in a shell” or hear chimes when circling a wine glass. Is the only reason we can hear these is because of the phenomenon of putting them right next to our ears? Are there any weird facts based on age, etc?

Yeah, it’s just the shape of the shell. The “ocean” sound you hear is really just the sound around you being altered by the acoustics of the shell and the unique shape gives it a wide variety of resonant frequencies.
