A struck bell’s spectral components begin at staggered times rather than together
Evidence
The figure shows the onset of the striking of the bell, and it can be seen how the frequency components enter at various times and not in synchrony with each other. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1315
