When the school bell vibrates, it forces the adjacent particles in air to vibrate. This disturbance gives rise to a wave and when the bell moves forward, it pushes the air in front of it. This creates a region of high pressures known as compression. When the bell moves backwards, it creates a region of low pressure know as rarefaction. As the bell continues to move forward and backward, it produces a series of compressions and rarefactions. This makes the sound of a bell propagate through air.
When the gong strikes the bell, vibrations are produced in the bell which are transmitted through the air to our ears. These vibration produce sensation of sound in our ears.
The bell produces the sound when it is struck by air hammer when the bell is struck by a hammer it starts vibrating. Since the vibrating objects produce sound. So the bell produces sound.
