Understood. Our bells do not go 'ding'. They go 'bim'. A metal spring ??? I think it would go 'ploing'.

Branny, how do you pronounce the oi? We pronounce it like a German eu.

Yes, like in Feuer or deutsches. Goethe is pronounced slightly different. It should be like in Toynbee. (toying- ploing) Latisha, what does bell do for you? Phonetically? Or Indonesian, Bingly?
I like the English word squeak as onomatopoeia. A squeaking parquet floor; that's exactly want it does. Squeak ! Horrible.
