The conch is a symbol which fearlessly proclaims the truth of the dharma. Among the eight symbols (of the Astamangala) it stands for the fame of the Buddha's teaching which spreads in all directions like the sound of the conch trumpet.
In addition to Buddha's throat, the conch also appears as an auspicious mark on the soles, palms, limbs, breast or forehead of a divinely endowed being.
It is an emblem of power, authority and sovereignty whose blast is believed to banish evil spirits, avert natural disasters, and scare away poisonous creatures.
Simply put; since everything birthed from sound once the conch is blown the sounds replicates the sound of creation - the returning to the original sound; the original, primordial, ever existing state. Om.
