I think you are a little wrong about the "bell" generating noise back
into the modem.  If that were true, every time you hit a bell online to
another computer (or a bell was sent back) you would get line noise?!
True, the distorted buzz has to do with uucico not handling fixing the
speaker, and the noise you hear is 1200 baud noise + bell noise, at least
that is what I believe?!
