The term BELL TOWER SOUND is used to describe the sound of bells ringing from a bell tower. The sound can be described by three words: CLANG (5 letters), PEAL (4 letters), and CHIME (5 letters). CLANG is a loud, metallic sound, usually made by a large bell. PEAL is a series of loud ringing sounds, often made by several bells in succession. CHIME is a softer, melodic sound, usually made by a smaller bell. All three words are used to describe the sound of bells ringing from a bell tower.
