We do, but I can't remember what they are. Maybe I should make a point of remembering?

Not bells, but we have commercially recorded messages. For example if it is an evacuation it is a Woop Woop alarm with a stern male voice saying "Evacuate now", Lockdown is similar. The normal bell system is not used.

We also have a hooter rather than a bell for lockdown and evacuation.
Evacuation is woop woop noise. Lockdown sounds like truck reversing.
They are very similiar to each other and very confusing to everyone.
