So a bell, it's a pretty common item. So common that the PHB didn't even give it a description. What odd things would you do with it?

A few things I can think of
-Tie it to your invisible servant so you don't trip over him (it?)
-Grapple and attach it to someone with invisibility at will so you can find them
-Tie it to a rope for a makeshift warning trap

Any other off book usage you can think of?

Attach to caught pests (cats, rats, foxes, raccoons, et cetera) and let loose in a secure area to cause distractions

Attach to arrows to create "noise arrows" for ranged distractions

It's a musical instrument, and campanology is a whole thing, so...

If the bell is big enough (or the passenger small enough), it can serve as a diving bell.
Make a dog drool. So animal training.
Use it for an interview for a management training course when all the vacancies have been filled weeks ago.

Ring it as loud as you can and scream Wildcard Bitches! when you get board of repeatedly rolling Dexterity(Stealth) checks.

Take it to sporting events to annoy the people around you.

Put them on a fishing pole for when you go scavenging.

Sprinkle them around a floor to screw with intruders.

Hang it on the top of a door, to let you know when people enter or exit.

Tie it to a long string that runs through the walls of a building, so that you can make a signal in one room of a building without making an obvious noise or motion in the room that you're in.

Bard focus

The "horn" or "siren" of a cart, to get people to move out of the way.

To loudly announce the time of day to people nearby.

To signal for silence at a fancy party.

Accompaniment for your yodeling and bagpipe band (that for some reason keeps getting run out of town).

Be an illusionist pretend to be a bard. Use minor illusion to replicate the sound of the bell.
