Yes I do say it as fact, it is an inanimate object and emotions are left to animals such as humans. The bell can certainly have different sounds and people can interpret those sounds how they desire using their own emotions but the actual object itself has nothing. I have loads of bells and they don't feel sad or happy or anxiety or whatever other emotions one can feel they just sit there in their metal glory (mostly Spurcycle or Crane). Now the human using the bell could be emoting but the bell itself is just making noise as that is pretty much all it does.
Yeah I think you knew what I meant without me having to explcitly say “the sound of a bell can seem insistent or agressive, or make the rider come across as entitled to some people”
