Default Ringin' The Bell

Do they still ring the bell on ISS when visitors or a new crew arrives?
I know Bill Shepherd tried to start this tradition and I saw it, I
believe, carried on with the INC-2 crew, but have follow on crews kept
it up? Did they do it just for shuttles or was it applicable to Soyuz
as well?

Being that it's a Navy thing, I doubt follow on commanders would stick
with it.

Yes, for all Shuttle arrivals, this was done. However, I am not sure if they
do this for Soyuz arrivals.

Thank you. I just never noticed it on NASA select. Well, it's good to
know it still lives on.
