Default Ringing sound Firing 12 ga. vh (1928)

Fired some skeet rounds today. Estate 2 3/4 1 oz 9 shot 2 3/4 dram 1180 fps. Gun is 2 5/8 " chamber. Per prior posts 2 3/4 should be ok. On discharge there is a distinct high tone ringing sound as though a high pitched bell had been tapped lightly with a small hammer ( audible through my ear plugs). Gun is in apparent vg cond.......on face etc.....What say ye....? All other operations are normal extractors work fine..shells don't stick and empties appear normal. I was contemplating taking this gun ( grandfathers) pheasant hunting in S. Dakota ( with appropriate light loads)..now not so sure.... Thanks........................Pat Buford
