It's accompanied by four quarter bells that chime every 15 minutes (these will also be silenced until 2021). How does it work? Big Ben is due to ring at one-minute intervals as the funeral procession departs the service. A muffler will be used for the bell, which reduces the impact of the sound and creates a quieter tone. The Elizabeth Tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, commonly referred to as Big Ben, is a famous striking clock. A striking clock is a clock that sounds the hours audibly on a bell, gong, or other audible device. In 12-hour striking, used most commonly in striking clocks today, the clock strikes once at 1:00 am, twice at 2:00 am P4oaO.
