jingly
Making bell sounds
Jingly describes something that makes or suggests a jingling sound—light, high-pitched, metallic tones like keys or small bells: jingly bracelets, a jingly tune.
The word often carries a slightly dismissive connotation when applied to music, implying something catchy but insubstantial: one of those jingly pop songs.
