At the conclusion of the Council of Elrond (Bk II, Chap 2) the question is asked who is to take the Ring. Tolkien writes...

'No one answered. The noon-bell rang. Still no one spoke. Frodo glanced at all the faces, but they were not turned to him... ...At last with an effort he spoke and wondered to hear his own words, as if some other will was using his small voice. "I will take the Ring," said, "though I do not know the way."'

The 'ting' that you hear is supposed to be 'the noon-bell'... Oh, welll......
