This article aimed to analyze the particularities of the four bells and the tower, which comprises the bell tower of the Cathedral of San José de Cúcuta, as well as its impact on the sound landscape of this city of Norte de Santander in Colombia. The research had a mixed methodological approach, which includes the descriptive and historical method. We also resorted to a simplified numerical model of the structure, determining the spectrum of structural response. According to the bells, we analyzed the magnitudes of the function of variable forces with time that introduce the own weight, speed of rotation and inertia on the structure; the most unfavorable dynamic amplification factor and response for quasi-static analysis for forces is determined. It is concluded that the ringing of bells produces a unique patrimonial sound that possesses qualities that make it identifiable by the community. In such a way, that the provisions of the bells have effects on the structure of the bell tower and on the sound, consequently, the bell of greater weight introduces greater efforts in the tower with direct incident factor the location in the bell tower.
