This is a question with several answers:
The vibration of the reed causes sound to be created against the mouthpiece, because it is hollow the sound moves through the mouthpiece and into the neck. the sound moves down the body and comes out the first open hole it comes across. The only time it comes out of the bell is when you close all pads (either a low E-flat or a low C).
This is an important difference from brass, in a brass instrument the sound ALWAYS comes out of the bell, on the Bass Clarinet (and all other woodwinds), it comes out of the holes. This is important if you ever use a microphone to record yourself, on a brass instrument, you just aim at the mic and you're good to go, on woodwinds you have to place the mic half way down the body and a short distance away (2-3ft) so the sound can be captured evenly.
So with that in mind, the final answer is "all sorts of places" every time you change your fingers, the sound comes out of a new hole.

What does a barrel do on a clarinet?

How does the sound of a clarinet get louder?
The sound of a clarinet gets louder as the musician blows harder into it. Also, the musician tightens the mouth to make the sound more stable, so you can make it even louder.To make the clarinet go quieter, you do not blow as much air into the clarinet.
How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?
The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.

Why does the flute sound like a lower pitched clarinet?
it doesn't a clarinet is of a lower pitch than a flute
What does a bass clarinet sound like?
Well first off, I have been playing the Clarinet for quite a while now, so to me it might sound different than someone who isn't in band or plays the clarinet...anyway, I think the clarinet is a beautiful instrument and produces a magnificent tone...if the player carries themselves with good posture, then this will improve the tone also. A good reed always helps too! :) Overall the clarinet is a great sounding instrument which produces a sound close to a Bass Clarinet or possibly Oboe or bassoon. mainly the bass clarinet though..hope this answers your question! :)
Why isn't your clarinet making sound?
Check the reed.
