What did the Liberty Bell sound like?
Physicists have revisited an old question about the Liberty Bell: what would the famous cracked bell have sounded like before and after its famous fracture in Philadelphia? Researchers modelling the bell's acoustics explain how the crack altered its tone and why the historic bell, last rung in 1846, produced the distinctive sound that helped make it an American icon.
Why now: New analysis of the bell's acoustics has drawn fresh attention to a long-standing historical curiosity.
