Reply to comment by 1Harryface in TIL the public library in Aarhus, Denmark has a 25-ft 3-ton bronze bell named 'The Gong' that rings every time a baby is born in the city. It is connected to the maternity ward in the local hospital, where mothers can press a button after giving birth to ring The Gong by ergotpoisoning

What's the difference? Does a bell have to have a clapper inside? In which case I don't know definitively that The Gong doesn't use a clapper. It just isn't bell-shaped

No worries mate. It’s an acoustic thing.
