The ringing phenomena in magnetization in the B phase (assumed to be the Balian-Werthamer state) after a sudden application of magnetic fields are analyzed theoretically. Particular attention is paid to the wall-fixed geometry, where the oscillation is intrinsically nonlinear. The ringing frequency is determined as a function of both the external field and the change in the magnetic field.
