[SML] Friendly Bell

[Chip Wood]

Mostly relies on context, memories, and associations.  Most of us can 
agree on what is an "alarm" unfriendly bell and an "alert" friendly 
bell.  Many a scene has been set by the "sad" tolling or the "joyous" 
ringing of church bells.  Same bells, different rhythm.
It's all music, like Major or Minor keys.

In my sound guy life I must have listened to 1000s of bells trying to 
find the "right" one to set a mood.  I rarely had Directors reject my 
choices.  Except stupid ones!
