A clock chime is a tune or a set of melodies that plays at intervals upon a set of bells to mark the passage of time. A variety of melodies exist, many associated with a particular location or bell tower that originated or popularized them. The popular melodies chiming out from Grandfather Clocks are produced by hammers striking tubular bells or gong rods. All clocks differ in tone and have their unique voices and even when the same melody is played there may be significant variations. Most Grandfather Clocks and Floor Clocks have chimes and it is important to pick a clock with the tune that is going to be pleasant to the ear.

Most common chime tune for the clocks is Westminster Chime. However, with the development, some clocks are made with multiple tunes that can be selected. Westminster, St. Michael's, and Whittington chimes are the most common combination for the triple-chime clocks. But it is important to keep in mind that there are different variations for different clocks.
