This bell chimes noon every day, and swings occasionally. I wouldn't be surprised if it chimes midnight on New Years, though, because that was when it first chimed ever (January 1, 2000, at 00:00).
This is the largest bell in the United States (and the occident). The rest of the interesting information is at the beginning of the video (size and other facts).
The "V" on the striker stands for "Verdin", the American casters of the bell (Paccard also helped cast the bell).
