ScienceWhat did the Liberty Bell sound like? Scientists investigate

The cracked Liberty Bell has not rung in 180 years, but scientists are exploring what it may have sounded like. Penn State researchers modeled its acoustic properties using data from a replica. The work was presented at an Acoustical Society of America meeting in Philadelphia earlier this year and later published in Physics Today.
