Bells is also one of the sub-themes in the Polifonia EU-funded research project (disclaimer, I'm involved in a different theme). It's more about documentation of historical bells in open/linked data, rather than acoustics.
In the last year unaffected by COVID, there were 10,701 recorded performances and many more unrecorded ones and practices. https://bellboard.uk/
There are 23,397 Methods and 52,650 Compositions available, where a Method is roughly equivalent to a piece or song in traditional music terms. http://methods.ringing.org/intro.html

Over _all the night_. Seriously, this appears to be quite a rational complaint.
Ours only chimes on the hour but it's going 24/7 and is very close to the surrounding houses (~40m) some of which are uphill and directly in line with the bells. I had to go in today to fettle it as it wasn't chiming and someone had posted on the village FB group that they were missing it. That's a fairly regular occurrence, most people people like hearing them, even through the night. Any complaints we get are when the clock stops.
It is possible to modify clocks to stop them chiming overnight, although ours is still in its entirely mechanical 1883 form, including me having to wind it every week.
