Info: A clock chime is a melody that plays at set intervals, usually on the hour, to signify the passing of time. These chimes are commonly heard from grandfather clocks, carillons, or bell towers, and different melodies are often tied to specific locations or towers. A striking clock, also called a chiming clock, audibly strikes the hours on a bell or gong. In the typical 12-hour striking system, the clock strikes once at 1:00 AM, twice at 2:00 AM, and continues up to twelve times at 12:00 PM. It then repeats the process from 1:00 PM to 12:00 AM. Note: Ensure notifications are enabled for the chimes to work properly. Notification sound will be disabled if the phone is in Low Power Mode, Do Not Disturb mode, or Sleep mode.
