Since the installation of the new bell system, student and faculty opinions have been rather strong. The Falcon Press decided to investigate and see what people think.

“It sounds like tinnitus.” – Mr. Stripling

“I like the old chime better. This one sounds like a hospital emergency code. But the audio quality is better.” – Mr. Crump

“I think the bells are generally unpleasant, and I hope they can be changed soon.” – Mrs. Jackl

“It sounds like an alarm to wake up to, so it sends a shiver down my spine, and in some places of the school, I can barely hear it, so it gets annoying.” – Shardae S.

¨It sounds like a prison bell when your recess is over.¨ – Landon Ross

“Why does it sound like that?” – Katie Virtue 

“It sounds like my credit card is being declined.” – Señora Coraizaca

“I wish it were louder and more consistent because students need a routine.” – Mr. Marcille

“It sounds like a Windows system failure.” – Lily Snell 

“It keeps changing. Now it sounds like I just left a FaceTime call.” – Mr. Pecka

“Trash. It sounds like a FaceTime call.” – Maddie Silva 

“I just don’t like how it keeps changing every day. That sound spikes my cortisol.” – Anjalina Estrella 

“I think it’s a lot less obnoxious compared to the old bell. It’ll take some getting used to, but it is more in line with the 21st century than the traditional bell.” – Mr. Fachinni 

“It’s tough to hear in certain rooms, and it just feels more prison-like.” – Olivia Eskew
