Reply to comment by ProteinStain in TIL the public library in Aarhus, Denmark has a 25-ft 3-ton bronze bell named 'The Gong' that rings every time a baby is born in the city. It is connected to the maternity ward in the local hospital, where mothers can press a button after giving birth to ring The Gong by ergotpoisoning

I had surgery at a hospital that did that. It was a fucking nightmare, I kept getting woken up all night. I was about ready to snap by the time I was allowed to leave.

Oh, thats insane. They only played the chime very quietly and only in the Maternity Ward hallways, not the rooms.
Ya, hearing that over the entire fucking hospital!? That's awful.
