I specifically bought it to clear the "off this planet" tourists from cycle paths in Berlin. They are beyond understanding-especially the Japanese. They stand on the bike paths snapping/filming/digitising away oblivious to the endless number of bike scything down on them.
You need a traditional ding-a-ling type bell for the Japs, they are programmed to respond to them. (There was a utube vid posted a few months ago demonstrating this).
Yes I was thinking of getting the 3 inch diameter Dutch brass bell its got a beautifull melodious clanging sound-a bit like a church bell on wheels. Tam

They sound great, but as they're not regular bicycle bells they may cause confusion. A clanging bell would probably work well in towns that have trams.
