Sound of Jerusalem Bell from Second Temple Period

This is the tiny golden bell which was lost in Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago during the Second Temple period found among ruins near the Old City. The bell, which is thought to have been an adornment which was sewn onto the garments of a senior official, was uncovered during excavation work on a drainage channel in the City of David, just south of the Old City walls. "It seems the bell was sewn on the garment worn by a high official in Jerusalem at the end of the Second Temple period," an IAA statement said.
This a recording of the bell provided by Udi Ragones, Ir David Foundation Spokesman

Yess - this is the real sound. When the finding was first announced I contacted the spokesman and suggested that it would be very interesting to have a recording of the bell and he provided one to me - Dr. Aaron Lerner, IMRA
