They're BELLS, not fire truck sirens or miracles. They do help in low speed conditions like you might have on an MUP, but the sound doesn't carry that far, and won't help when riding at decent speed.
That said, I have a bell on my commuter and use it from time to time, but don't have one on any of my other bikes.
