This sound effect can be found on The Premiere Edition Volume 1 which was made by The Hollywood Edge. It is a 10-inch Simplex 4090-series vibrating bell ringing continuously. It should not be confused with BELL, ALARM - BURGLAR OR FIRE ALARM 01 and BELL, SCHOOL - SCHOOL BELL: EXTERNAL: SINGLE RING due to sounding similar.
