In summary

From Middle High German liuten, from Old High German hlūten, from Proto-West Germanic *hlūdijan (“to make sound”), factitive of *hlūdēn (“to sound”), whence lauten. Equivalent to Laut + -en. Cognate with Dutch luiden. In Middle High German, the distinction between both verbs was increasingly lost, i.e. läuten came to be used intransitively. In Modern German, the two forms were then redistributed on semantic grounds: läuten was restricted to bells while lauten survives only in the figurative sense “to read, have a content”.
