Pull the other one! ;) Seriously tho, the sound when done right can be glorious. a-pealing even :D

I love the sound of the bells. One of the many times that I stayed in Huddersfield, I was crossing a street just below the parish church when a bell rehearsal began. Fortunately, I had reached the pedestrian island, as the sound stopped...

I did bell ringing many years ago, worked my way up to pulling the 1 ton bell
