Ooops... was still typing, and somehow sent incomplete... Just saying that I like that it has less of a "GET OUT OF MY WAY" tone than a normal bell or a shout, though it does get some funny looks.
My bear bell has a slot just big enough to slide in a rare-earth magnet that I store stuck to my top-tube to silence it on dirt roads, which I like. Not sure how you'd silence the tiny bells when I don't want them.
