When you think of Swiss cowbell, you would imagine a quite annoying, loud – dong, dong, dong sound. Apparently not so in the field. The closest I can think of is the sound made by a wind chime. It also evokes the musical sound of Indonesian Gamelan. They make a continuous tinkering sound, dissonant and…
