Do you hear what I hear?

 

The slight air movements that flow through a conch shell produce the sound of wind moving back and forth. The sound travels through the spiral, getting restricted as it goes farther into it, and the vibrations get tighter and tighter, making the sound more high-pitched. As the air circulates back out, the opposite effect happens. The high to low, low to high and also loud to quiet and back to loud sounds like the ocean when amplified in a conch shell.

 

It's true!
