ring the bell

Ring the bell means to succeed or achieve something notable, from the carnival game where striking hard enough makes a puck rise to ring a bell at the top.

Someone who rings the bell hits the mark or accomplishes a goal: That presentation really rang the bell with the investors.

In boxing, ringing the bell ends a round.

To ring someone's bell is to hit them hard enough to daze them, or in slang, to arouse them sexually.
