delete One sentence description followed by examples which are too obvious as to require explanation. And for that matter, the term is too obvious for explanation. Mangoe (talk) 00:01, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or perhaps there's a way to change the scope or merge this topic. The New York Times has a very good piece on this, and other potential sources I found were [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Germany [8][9] Japan [10][11][12][13]. Expanded chime sources include [14][15] and on coverage voices of announcements includes [16][17][18][19][20][21] Reywas92^Talk 00:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Plenty of coverage around specific chimes as well as some that compare those of various cities. Plenty to work with. Sounder Bruce 09:20, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I'm not going to look for the source right now, but at the time this was a prod I found a paper researching how different chime combinations could impart immediate ideas to their audience. For instance to differentiate between routine announcements, warnings, and emergencies. There's certainly an encyclopaedic subject here, it's just waiting for an editor with the enthusiasm to research it. SpinningSpark 16:44, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
