Why is the sound of a bell smothered when a hand is placed on it?

A small bell will not continue to "ring" if held or pressed. This is because the continuing ringing sound is caused by vibrations (resonance) within the metal shell. Once struck, the energized metal will continue to give off sound waves for some time. But the resonance can be dampened if a non-vibratory object (hand, cloth, wood, rubber) comes in contact with the metal : these objects do not vibrate well and will absorb the kinetic energy from the metal.
