chime
Clock tower sound
A chime is a bell or set of tuned bells, or the sound they produce—typically a clear, resonant tone: the chime of the grandfather clock, wind chimes on the porch.
To chime is to ring or sound melodically.
Clocks chime the hour.
To chime in is to join a conversation, often uninvited: She chimed in with her opinion.
