Does a Singing Bowl Add Anything to Meditation?

Does anyone here use a singing bowl when they meditate? Listening until the sound fades seems like a simple practice to try. I’m curious whether the bowl makes a difference or whether focusing on everyday sounds feels just as satisfying. Sometimes it’s nice to try something new without needing it to be better. I also like the idea of a meditation buddy. No pressure to keep a streak, just someone to check in with. If you’ve tried a singing bowl, what did you think?
