Gong
A gong's deep, sudden sound often touches a false alarm — a loud signal of illness or loss that vexes more than it warrants. The dream may ask what's clanging through your nerves right now, whether the alarm is real or overblown, and how a startling summons might rattle you more than the thing it's actually announcing.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gong, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To hear the sound of a gong while dreaming, denotes false alarm of illness, or loss will vex you excessively.
