Audio of Guildford Cathedral's bells tolling just before a carol service. I have EQ'd out frequencies below 200Hz. The recorder was approximately 40-50 meters from the bells.

This sound is not in the public domain. Please attribute/credit the sound if you use it. If you would prefer to not have to give attribution, then take a look at the attribution-free license.

Any donations are greatly appreciated! And for more awesome sounds, do please check out my sound libraries or SFX store.

Please comment on where you intend to use the sound, and feel free to post a link to the work where you used it if you want (I enjoy watching/listening to anything you create!)

The sound was recorded using a "Zoom H1 recorder" on 13th December 2017.

Note: Audio quality is always better when downloaded.
