Rattling bells produce sound through small pieces striking inside a hollow body or through suspended metal elements. In Mexico they appear as handheld instruments, dance-costume accessories, and objects that mark a pulse through bodily movement. Timbre depends on material, size, and the manner of shaking. This category brings together references in which bells contribute to the sound texture, whether as independent instruments or parts of ritual or festive attire. Where documented, each recording should identify who uses them, the dance or ensemble involved, and the locality. Similar sounds do not necessarily indicate the same instrument or cultural setting.
