In some of the Commonwealth realms, a division bell is a bell rung in or around parliament to signal a division to members of the relevant chamber so that they may participate. A division bell may also be used to signal the start or end of parliamentary proceedings, and often produces different sounds or coloured lights to identify the chamber affected. Wikipedia
