Very few churches in the American suburbs have bells, and most have replaced them with speakers playing recorded bells if they have anything at all :(

A surprising number have bells or refurbished their bell towers in the last 20 years - but many are more gong than bell as the bell is hit with a powered solenoid.

Hand-rung bells do still exist and get installed; offhand I know of one new installation and three old.
