Anyone heard what sounds like a bell ringing while leaving port?

Now that I'm running the game on a Windows7 Laptop and I'm using headphones, I find that I'm getting a much more immersive experience than I ever did on my Desktop back in 2005.

So, as I'm leaving my base at Lorient at about 6AM, there's lots of anchored ships, and as I leave I am hearing what sounds like a bell ringing. It sounds like the kind of bell that would have to me manually struck, but the rhythm suggests that maybe either the wind or the movement of a ship is causing the clanging.

At first I thought it might be metal stiking metal somewhere on my sub, but as soon as we had cleared the port, the sound faded away.

I don't know what it was, but it was really cool.

Uhere are two bouys where the river turns and at least one more near the lighthouse at the river entrance look for the red and green lights.

An assortment of buoys that broke free during last nights severe storm and came to rest near this ship. 3 of them have bells

Ah hah. I heard them very clearly, and I'm surprised I didn't hit one. Nice touch in the game.

"What's brown and sounds like a bell?"

"DUNG!"

Sorry. Couldn't help it.
