The church bells in Sete Cidades in the Azores ring out - they are somewhat atonal and out of tune, making for a less harmonious soundscape than you would usually expect from church bells - birds nesting in the trees either side of a path leading up to the church provide a more melodious accompaniment.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.
