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.

How do you make a bell?

Why bells are made of metals?
There are a few reasons. First, metal will make bells that will vibrate at a frequency and amplitude that can be heard without an excessive amount of applied energy. They will also sustain this oscillation for a suitable period of time. IOW, metal bells sound like bells. You could make a bell from wood, but it would make a clop-clop sound. Second, metal is strong enough to be repeatedly played without damage. You can make glass bells, and they work. If you have some wine glasses at home, hold one upside down and tap it with your fingernail. It sounds great. But if you were to play the glass with a metal object like a spoon, you'd break it into pieces. Third, a metal bell is lighter than, say, a ceramic bell. They make ceramic bells, and they work fine. But they're heavier than metal bells the same size. Fourth, you can tune a metal bell. If you make a ceramic bell and it doesn't sound quite right, you have to either make a new bell or learn to like the one you made. On a metal bell, if you think the mouth needs to be pinched in a little you pinch it in a little. And fifth, metal bells are traditional...and in this case, tradition isn't bad.
