The largest bell rings once a day, perhaps at noon. The second largest bell twice a day, every 12 hours. The next 3 times a day, and so forth.
It's unfortunately quite loud at midnight -- all the even numbered bells (but surrounded by relative quietness?).
Maybe only the divisors of 24 or 24*60. 36 bells suffice for once a minute. 24 for once every 15 minutes (sigma(24*60/4,0) in pari/gp). 3 or 2 octaves of a 12-tone chromatic scale.
Some bells only ever sound as part of a chord with other bells, so skip the more frequent bell?
All bells ring at noon. When ringing at the same time, should they ring simultaneously as a chord or or slightly offset as an arpeggio?
