Give bells a larger sound radius!

I built a working clock tower with bells that ring at different intervals in my server to tell players when it is noon, sunrise, or sunset. Unfortunately though, unless you are standing close to the bell tower you can't hear it at all. 


I think it would be fun if the sound radius was increased so players can use it for things like this

    I agree, and the volume should be increased as well; the volume for placing a bell is louder than the actual ringing sound itself.

    Would be cool to make a bell tower, but in bedrock the sound only goes 16 blocks!!! wouldnt even hear it from the ground level of the tower let alone neighboring mountains

    Or if you put certain blocks under/above the bell, it would increase the sound radius, just like how note blocks play different instruments when certain blocks are put underneath. Or an enchantment like Loudness with a few tiers.

    I just built a bell tower and contained in the roof a setup to ring the bell 4 times when the sun goes down.. imagine my surprise when I couldn't hear it in the town even if I was close...

    i agree i have a bell in a church tower on my server and i want evreyone in the city to hear the bells now the bell is like at 32 blocks but like time it by 10 or sum like bells in real life got a radius of 5km so why not make it so in minecraft to or maybe just like 100 block radius 5000 blocks is a little to much so like 100 or 150 would be perfect
