No. If that would happen cows would be running around like crazy and never get any time to eat or rest. No, cow bells are used as a low-tech location device for farmers if their cows ever got out or moved away from the pasture she was supposed to stay in. Cow bells are very common in the Swiss Alps because there are no fences in the mountain meadows and cows are free to roam as they please.
