TARDIS Cloister Bell

The gong is the TARDIS Cloister Bell, its resonant metal surface trembling as the ship lurches through the destabilized Time Corridor. Its deep, ominous toll cuts through the chaos of the control room, framing the crisis with auditory dread. The companions freeze at its first chime—Turlough’s warning tightens, Tegan’s skepticism hardens into dread, and the Doctor’s control falters visibly. This is the same bell referenced in official TARDIS documentation as 'Cloister Bell'.
