Even in the 70s. We had a switch on the side of the phone. It said "Ringer." The options were Off, On, Loud.
We turned it off often.
Loud, I think, was a joke setting. It didn't actually do anything noticable.
Anyways.. people are trained by school that they have to respond to the ringing bell. They never wonder why schools even used bells in the first place. It's to train you like pavlovs fucking dogs.
