Question

how metal produces a ringing sound.

Answer 1

Hey

Here's your answer

Metal has a physical property known as Sonority which causes the ringing sound. For example in the bell.

You would notice there's no bell made of wood since wood isn't metal and thus it doesn't possess sonority property too.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

<> Metals have a property called sonorous which let them produce sound.

<> Hence when a metal hits a ringing sound is produced.
