I have made knife blades "ring" before and after heat treat. If anything, they ring better soft. My guess is that the jumbled mess that is martensite might damp vibrations better.

Now I finally understand what the Beach Boys were referring to...

I'm pickin' up good vibrations

If you put enough carbon into steel that it becomes graphitic, you've made cast iron. It rings even less than steel.

It looks like the metal composition and the shape are the main thing. From what I read they cast them and cool them super slowly and then scrape away from the inside. I am going to make a big ass bell this year.

By "this year", I assume you mean today?

I've always thought that it would be cool to make a bell out of melted down cartridge cases.

How do you make bells? Cast them? Hammer over a mold?

I'm pretty sure those are cast. Although I have seen on Mr Roger's years ago where they press them out on a wheel from blanks

I was making myself ramen again,and it was Buldak ×2 spiciness.I decided to poke the pack with a knife to open it, and I barely — like literally just a scratch — cut my finger.But that ×2 nuclear sauce got right into the cut…bro, this can officially be considered torture.

The only plus is that this shit seems to be so hot that it basically cauterized the wound.
