bell sound

Toll you hear

The sound a bell makes—a clear, resonant tone that rings and fades.

Bell sound describes both literal ringing the bell sound echoed through the church and similar tones from other sources: doorbells, phone alerts, or musical instruments.

In audio production, bell sound often refers to bright, metallic timbres with sustained decay.
