It was only for sales achievements, and I never saw an email like that for any other department.

Sales people ringing a bell in the office when they make a sale is traditional in certain sales environments. When I worked in radio, the sales people did it. I've seen food truck operators and baristas do it when someone tips.

It's related to the expression "ringing your own bell," which means to be shamelessly boastful.
