tink
Light metallic sound
Tink is a light, high-pitched metallic sound, like a small bell or glass being gently struck.
As a verb, it means to make such a sound: The wind chimes tinked softly in the breeze.
It's a softer, more delicate cousin of clink or ting, often used for fairy bells or tiny collisions.
In online communities, Tink is also a nickname for Tinker Bell, the fairy from Peter Pan.
