Fetal sounds is a term used to describe the sounds heard from your child in the womb. The sounds they speak of are that of the child's heartbeat and movement though at times such things as hiccups can be heard. These sounds usually are heard after 28 weeks and through a fetal doppler device.

When people talk about Fetal sounds they are generally talking about the baby's heartbeat during an ultra sound. It's also possible to hear your own heartbeat or your blood flowing when the doctor checks the baby's heartbeat. Sometimes you can even hear sounds from the Placenta as it swooshes around.
