What is a "bell"?
A bell is a metal percussion instrument with a hollow, cup-shaped body that produces sound when struck. It typically has a clapper inside, which hits the sides of the bell when it is moved or shaken. Bells come in various sizes and shapes and are used in many different contexts, including church services, ceremonial events, and musical compositions. The sound of a bell is often described as clear and resonant, and its tone can vary depending on the size, shape, and material of the bell.
Example
The church bell rang out across the village, signaling the start of the wedding ceremony.
The bell on the restaurant's counter jingled when customers entered or exited the establishment.
During the event, a large bell was rung to mark the beginning of each new activity.
