Sounds and Instruments

Chiming Sounds

A chime, as a noun, refers to a clear, resonant ringing sound produced by striking bells or similar objects, often evoking a harmonious tone.^[1] As a verb, it describes the act of producing such sounds, typically by ringing in a melodic or synchronized manner.^[2] The term originates from Middle English "chime" or "chymbe," dating to around 1300, derived from Old French "chimbe" and ultimately from Latin "cymbalum," initially denoting a cymbal before evolving to describe sets of tuned bells by the 1560s.^[3] Old English featured related forms like "cymbal" or "cimbal," reflecting early associations with percussive ringing.^[3] Over time, the word extended to clock mechanisms that strike bells to mark hours, a practice rooted in medieval European timekeeping traditions where chimes announced the passage of time from church towers.^[4] The verb sense also gave rise to the idiom "chime in," emerging in the 15th century from the imagery of bells ringing in harmony, now meaning to interject or contribute agreeably to a conversation.^[5] In everyday contexts, chimes appear in doorbell mechanisms, which evolved from simple buzzers to melodic tones in the early 20th century to provide a pleasant alert for visitors.^[6] Clock chimes similarly signal hours, a custom tracing back centuries to mechanical clocks in public buildings that used bell strikes for communal time awareness.^[7] Garden wind chimes, activated by breezes, generate ambient, tinkling sounds for decorative and soothing effects, often mimicking natural resonances.^[2] Acoustically, chime sounds typically occupy a frequency range of 200 to 2000 Hz, aligning with the human ear's sensitivity to mid-range tones that convey clarity and presence.^[8] Their musical quality arises from harmonic overtones—multiples of the fundamental frequency—that blend to form rich, sustaining resonances, though bell-like chimes often include slight inharmonic partials for distinctive timbre.^[9] This structure relates briefly to sounds in musical instruments like bell chimes, where controlled overtones enhance tonal purity.^[8]

Musical Instruments

Chimes, as musical instruments, primarily refer to sets of tuned bells or resonant metal structures classified as idiophones, producing sustained tones when struck. In Western traditions, a chime typically consists of a group of four or more tuned bells mounted in a tower, often played manually via a clavier or automated through clock mechanisms to mark time or perform melodies.^[10] These instruments trace their origins to medieval Europe, where tuned bells strung together formed highly regarded percussion ensembles used in religious and civic contexts, evolving from smaller hand-held sets to larger tower installations by the late Middle Ages.^[11] A prominent example is the Westminster chimes in London's Elizabeth Tower, housing Big Ben, where five bells produce the quarter-hour melody first rung on May 31, 1859, tuned to a diatonic scale for precise timekeeping.^[12] Tubular bells, also known as orchestral chimes, represent an adaptation for concert settings, consisting of tuned metal tubes suspended vertically and struck with mallets to emulate tower bells. Invented in the late 1880s by John C. Deagan, who began manufacturing them in 1880 as a portable substitute for heavy church bells, these instruments feature brass or steel tubes of varying lengths—typically 1.25 to 2 inches in diameter—tuned to specific pitches.^[13] Their introduction revolutionized orchestral percussion, allowing composers to incorporate bell-like effects without logistical challenges; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky notably employed them in his 1880 1812 Overture to depict cannon fire and victory chimes, enhancing dramatic climaxes in symphonic works.^[14] Bar chimes and chime bars serve as versatile percussion tools in ensembles, differing in configuration and resonance to suit various musical roles. Bar chimes feature multiple horizontal aluminum rods suspended from a frame, producing a cascading shimmer when brushed or struck collectively, often without individual tuning for atmospheric effects in jazz or rock. Chime bars, by contrast, are single tuned metal or wooden bars mounted on individual wooden resonators—typically rectangular boxes that amplify and sustain the tone through enclosed air vibration—allowing precise pitch control in educational or Orff Schulwerk settings.^[15] The resonator design, crafted from materials like maple to minimize damping, extends the decay time, making chime bars ideal for melodic lines in classroom percussion or contemporary compositions.^[16] Global variants of chimes highlight diverse cultural adaptations, emphasizing bronze construction and ritual significance. The bianzhong, ancient Chinese sets of tuned bronze bells, date to at least 1600 BCE during the Shang Dynasty, with elaborate ensembles of up to 65 bells hung in rows on wooden frames, struck by mallets to play polyphonic melodies in court rituals.^[17] In Southeast Asia, gong chimes form the core of kulintang ensembles, featuring knobbed bronze gongs arranged horizontally and played melodically, with traditions tracing back over 1,000 years to influences from Chinese gong cultures integrated into indigenous signaling practices in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia.^[18] These variants underscore chimes' role in communal ceremonies, blending idiophonic resonance with ensemble interplay. Playing techniques for chimes vary by context, balancing manual precision with automated efficiency, while tuning adheres to cultural scales for harmonic coherence. Manual striking involves mallets or clappers applied directly to bells or bars, with controlled force and placement—such as at the midpoint for optimal tone—enabling dynamic expression in orchestral or ensemble performances; tubular bells, for instance, require a single player to articulate melodies across tubes using yarn- or cord-wrapped mallets to avoid overtones. Automated systems, prevalent in tower chimes like Westminster's Great Clock, employ mechanical clappers linked to a clock's escapement or clavier, sequentially striking bells at intervals without human intervention, ensuring rhythmic accuracy for hourly signals. Tuning typically follows diatonic scales in Western chimes for melodic compatibility, as in Big Ben's quarter chimes, or pentatonic scales in Asian variants like bianzhong, which facilitate modal improvisation while maintaining cultural tonal hierarchies.^[12]^[19]

Technology and Business

Financial Technology Company

Chime is a San Francisco-based financial technology company founded in 2012 by Chris Britt, who serves as CEO, and Ryan King, the CTO.^[20] The firm operates as a neobank, providing digital banking services without physical branches, with a mission to deliver fee-free, accessible banking to underserved consumers, emphasizing financial progress through simple, transparent tools.^[21] As a non-bank entity, Chime partners with FDIC-insured institutions The Bancorp Bank, N.A., and Stride Bank, N.A., to offer deposit accounts and related services.^[21] Chime's core products include a fee-free checking account with a Visa debit card, enabling features like Pay Anyone for instant peer-to-peer transfers without fees.^[22] Its SpotMe service provides eligible users with fee-free overdraft protection up to $200 on debit card purchases.^[22] The company also offers a high-yield savings account with up to 3.50% APY for qualifying Chime+ members as of November 2025, alongside early direct deposit that allows users to access paychecks up to two days sooner.^[23] In March 2025, Chime launched Instant Loans, enabling preapproved members to access up to $500 in three-month installment loans without credit checks, with a fixed fee of $5 per $100 borrowed (29.76% APR).^[24] By 2025, Chime had grown to over 20 million customers, with approximately 9.1 million active members, reflecting its appeal to younger demographics seeking affordable banking alternatives.^[25] The company's valuation reached a peak of $25 billion in 2021 following a $750 million funding round.^[26] Chime went public in June 2025 via an IPO that valued the company at around $11-15 billion.^[27] Chime maintains partnerships with retailers such as Walgreens and 7-Eleven, providing access to over 60,000 fee-free ATMs through networks like Allpoint.^[28] Key innovations include the absence of monthly maintenance fees, minimum balance requirements, or overdraft charges, which have helped Chime capture significant market share in digital banking.^[22] The platform also integrates financial education tools, such as budgeting alerts and partnerships with apps like Zogo, with a commitment to reach 10 million people through literacy programs by 2027.^[29] However, Chime faced regulatory scrutiny in 2024 when the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took action against it for delaying consumer refunds after account closures, requiring improvements to its post-closure processes in thousands of instances.^[30]

Software and Plugins

MDL Chime was a browser plugin developed by MDL Information Systems (now part of Dassault Systèmes BIOVIA) in 1996 for visualizing three-dimensional molecular structures.^[31] It was based on the RasMol molecular visualization program and served as a key tool for rendering interactive 3D models of chemicals and macromolecules directly in web browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer.^[32] The plugin enabled users to display rotatable and zoomable renderings from formats like Protein Data Bank (PDB) files, facilitating early web-based exploration of molecular data without requiring standalone software.^[33] Key features included support for interactive manipulation, such as rotation, zooming, and scripting using a RasMol-compatible command language, which allowed integration with JavaScript for dynamic content in educational and research web pages.^[33] It also offered export capabilities to formats like VRML for further 3D modeling and was free for non-commercial use, making it widely accessible for chemistry education and scientific communication.^[34] As part of MDL's ISIS/Draw cheminformatics suite, Chime integrated with tools for drug discovery, where it supported parsing of notations like SMILES within broader molecular design workflows.^[35] Development of Chime largely ceased after 1998, with subsequent updates focusing on bug fixes and browser compatibility rather than new features.^[34] By the 2010s, it was phased out due to the rise of modern web technologies like HTML5 and JavaScript libraries, though archived versions remain available for legacy applications in scientific archives.^[36] Its impact endured in pioneering web-accessible molecular visualization, influencing later open-source tools and enhancing online science dissemination during the late 1990s and early 2000s.^[31]

Computing and Alert Systems

In computing, the term "chime" often refers to distinctive auditory signals integrated into hardware systems to indicate status or readiness. One prominent example is the Macintosh startup chime, an iconic sound played during the boot sequence of Apple computers to signify successful initialization and system readiness. Introduced in 1991 with the Quadra 700 model, this chime was composed and recorded by Apple sound designer Jim Reekes using a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer in his home studio, featuring a three-note G major chord designed to replace earlier jarring beeps and evoke a sense of harmony.^[37]^[38] The sound evolved through variations across hardware eras, such as pitch adjustments for PowerPC-based systems in the mid-1990s and subtle tonal shifts in later Intel models, but retained its core melodic structure until Apple discontinued it in late 2016 with the introduction of silent-booting T2 chip-equipped Macs.^[37] Implemented as an uncompressed Audio Interchange File Format (.aiff) file, typically around 4-5 seconds in duration and encoded at 44.1 kHz sampling rate, the chime was stored in the system resources for playback via the Mac's onboard audio hardware.^[39] Warning chimes serve as critical audible alerts in both vehicular and computing environments, providing immediate feedback for safety or error conditions without requiring visual attention. In vehicles, seatbelt reminder chimes emerged in the early 1970s following U.S. federal mandates for occupant protection, with 1973 model-year cars incorporating buzzers or tones that activate for 4-8 seconds if the driver or passenger is unbuckled, escalating in some modern systems for rear seats as well.^[40] These chimes, often multi-tone sequences at 60-80 dB to ensure audibility over ambient cabin noise (typically 60-70 dB), adhere to ergonomic standards like ISO 7731, which specifies parameters for auditory danger signals in work and public areas, including signal duration, frequency range (500-2000 Hz for recognizability), and avoidance of masking by background sounds. In computers, error beeps originated in the 1980s with power-on self-test (POST) routines in BIOS firmware from manufacturers like AMI and Award, using patterned tones—such as one short beep for normal operation or three long beeps for memory failure—to diagnose hardware issues during startup when no display is available.^[41] These beeps, generated via the motherboard's speaker at similar 60-80 dB levels, have persisted in PCs for over three decades as a hardware-level diagnostic tool, though graphical interfaces have supplemented them in modern systems.^[41]

Mental Health Recovery Framework

The CHIME framework for personal recovery in mental health was introduced in 2011 through a systematic review and narrative synthesis of qualitative studies on recovery experiences among individuals with mental illness.^[42] Developed by Mary Leamy and colleagues, it synthesizes common themes from 97 papers, emphasizing recovery as a nonlinear, personal process rather than mere symptom reduction.^[43] The framework draws on first-person accounts to outline key processes that support rebuilding a meaningful life despite ongoing challenges.^[44] The acronym CHIME represents five interconnected recovery processes: Connectedness, involving relationships and social support networks that foster belonging; Hope and Optimism about the Future, a forward-looking belief in improvement and positive possibilities; Identity, the reconstruction of a positive self-view beyond the illness; Meaning in Life, discovering purpose through daily activities, spirituality, or contributions to others; and Empowerment, gaining personal control, autonomy, and self-determination.^[45] These components are supported by 13 specific characteristics identified in the original synthesis, such as peer support under connectedness and redefining identity.^[42] In practice, the CHIME framework informs therapy programs by guiding interventions that enhance these processes, such as peer support groups emphasizing connectedness and motivational interviewing to build hope. It has influenced policy in the United Kingdom, where organizations like the Scottish Recovery Network adopted it to structure recovery-oriented mental health services, promoting person-centered care over clinical models.^[46] Measurement tools, including the INSPIRE scale for assessing recovery support from services and the Recovery Enhancing Environment (REE) instrument for environmental factors, operationalize CHIME domains to evaluate progress in clinical and community settings.^[47]^[45] A 2023 systematic review and citation analysis affirmed CHIME's influence, mapping its role across 13 recovery characteristics and highlighting its high citation rate due to empirical grounding and applicability in diverse contexts. Extensions include the C-CHIME model, which incorporates Creativity as a key, missing element in the original framework, particularly in mental health nursing.^[48]

Astronomical Instrument

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a radio telescope array dedicated to mapping neutral hydrogen in the universe through intensity mapping of the 21 cm emission line, aiding studies of cosmology including dark energy and large-scale structure. Operational since 2017, it is located at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada.^[49]^[50]^[51] CHIME's design features four parallel north-south oriented cylindrical reflectors, each measuring 100 m in length by 20 m in width, equipped with 256 dual-polarization feeds along the focal axis per reflector, totaling 1,024 feeds. This configuration enables wide-field imaging without moving parts, covering the frequency range of 400–800 MHz to target redshifted 21 cm signals from cosmic hydrogen. The system's low-noise amplifiers and real-time digital signal processing support drift-scan observations of the northern sky, providing high sensitivity for transient and extended source detection.^[52]^[53]^[54] A major outcome of CHIME's operations has been the detection of thousands of fast radio bursts (FRBs) (over 4,000 as of November 2025), significantly expanding the known population of these millisecond-duration radio transients and enabling statistical analyses of their origins and properties. In 2025, CHIME detected the brightest FRB to date (FRB 20250316A), aiding precise localization efforts. The CHIME/FRB project has produced catalogs, including the first with 536 events from 2018–2019, revealing diverse FRB characteristics such as repetition rates and polarization. Additionally, CHIME's intensity mapping data has contributed to measurements of hydrogen clustering across cosmic volumes, offering insights into dark energy evolution and earning the collaboration the 2024 Buchalter Cosmology Prize.^[55]^[50]^[56] Led by the University of British Columbia, CHIME involves collaborations with McGill University, the University of Toronto, the National Research Council of Canada, and international institutions including MIT and Yale University, comprising over 50 scientists. The project cost approximately CAD 20 million, emphasizing cost-effective engineering with mass-produced components. Data processing relies on a dedicated GPU cluster of 256 servers equipped with 1,024 graphics processing units, handling over 6 Tb/s of raw data in real time for beamforming and correlation.^[57]^[58]^[59]

Places

Several geographical locations around the world bear the name "Chime" or close variants, typically referring to small communities, natural features, or mountains with limited historical documentation. These places often derive their names from local linguistic or cultural roots, though etymologies are not always well-recorded. In Nigeria, Umuezechime is a village located in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, within the southeastern Igbo region.^[97] The name translates to "children of Eze Chime" in Igbo, honoring Eze Chime (also known as Ezechima), a legendary 13th- or 14th-century figure traditionally regarded as the founder of multiple settlements in the Anioma area and beyond, with migrations linked to the ancient Benin Kingdom or indigenous Igbo origins according to oral histories.^[98]^[99] The community forms part of the broader Udi town area, which had an estimated population of about 9,605 as of 2015, though specific figures for Umuezechime itself are not separately documented.^[100] In the United States, Chimes is an unincorporated rural community in Van Buren County, Arkansas, situated in the Ozark foothills at an elevation of approximately 1,864 feet (568 meters).^[101] Established with a post office opening in 1914, the origin of its name remains obscure, with no definitive historical records explaining its adoption amid early 20th-century settlement patterns in the region.^[101] Chime Lake is a small lake in Nipissing District, Northern Ontario, Canada, with official coordinates at 46° 22′ 44″ N, 79° 3′ 23″ W.^[102] Designated as an official name by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry on October 3, 1933, it serves as a minor geographical feature in a forested area suitable for local recreation, but lacks documented etymology or significant historical events.^[102] In Angola, Chime refers to a mountain in Cuanza Sul Province, rising to an elevation of 2,004 meters (6,575 feet) at approximately 11.9° S, 14.783° E. This feature appears in regional geographic surveys but has no noted cultural or developmental history beyond its topographic role in the central highlands.^[103]

Other Uses

Wind chimes are decorative hanging ornaments consisting of suspended tubes, rods, or other materials that produce random, melodic sounds when agitated by the breeze. They originated in ancient China around 3000 BCE, with early examples crafted from organic materials such as bone, wood, bamboo, and shells, and later incorporating metal during the Bronze Age around 1100 BCE.^[104]^[105]^[106] In Chinese culture, wind chimes hold significance in feng shui practices, where they are believed to promote positive energy flow by harmonizing environmental chi, a tradition rooted in principles dating back over 3,000 years.^[107] In industrial contexts, "chime" refers to signaling devices used in transportation. On railways, steam whistles emerged in the 1830s as audible warnings for locomotives.^[108]^[109] Similarly, nautical chimes involve the ship's bell, rung in rapid successive strokes as a fog warning signal to nearby vessels, a practice formalized in British naval regulations by 1858 and experimented with across countries in the mid-19th century.^[110]^[111]^[112] As a verb extension, "chime with" denotes agreement or harmony, as in ideas or opinions aligning closely, a usage appearing in literary English since at least the 19th century.^[113] In recent smart home hardware trends as of 2025, chime devices integrated into wireless video doorbells and security systems have gained popularity for their battery-powered, easy-install designs that provide customizable alert tones without relying on cloud software.^[114]^[115]^[116]
