bell
Struck, it resonates
An archetypal bell is a hollow shape of metal that produces a ringing sound when struck.
Other things called bell partake of one of these qualities.
The sound a bell makes is a bell.
The flared end of a wind instrument where the sound comes out is a bell.
Blossoms with a characteristic rounded conical shape are called bells, as are electronic devices that produce warning or signaling sounds.
