True
The text states that the noise from a seashell is an echo of surrounding noises, not the ocean, and that in a noise-isolated room, no sound is heard from the seashell.
Infact verdict: True (91/100).
The claims about seashell noise are supported by evidence indicating that the sound heard is due to ambient noise being amplified by the shell's shape. In a noise-isolated room, this effect is absent due to the lack of ambient noise. Multiple sources corroborate these explanations, confirming the claims as factual.

In a noise-isolated room, there is no sound from the seashell.
Evidence from HowStuffWorks and other sources indicates that in a noise-isolated room, the seashell does not produce sound because it relies on ambient noise, which is absent in such environments.
