Chime

    Wind Chime


    Wind chimes or Aeolian chimes are often hollow or solid metal or wooden tubes which are usually hung outside of a building and are intended to be played by the wind, which causes the chimes to strike each other or a metal, wood, or rubber ball which may be hung in the center. Windchimes produce inharmonic (as opposed to harmonic) spectra, although if they are hung at about 1/5th of their length (22.4%) the higher partials are dampened and the fundamental is brought out. This is common practice in high quality windchimes, which are also usually hung so the center ball strikes the center of the windchime's length. Frequency is determined by the length, width, thickness, and material. There are formulas that help predict the proper length to achieve a particular note, though a bit of fine tuning is often needed. Wind chimes are thought to be good luck in Africa. Chimes are also made of materials other than metal or wooden tubes or rods. Many people accept bamboo, stones, horseshoes, mechanics tools, pvc pipe, glass, seashells, old silverware, etc. as chimes. The sounds these make are not tunable to specific notes and range from pleasant tinkling to dull thuds. The feeling seems to be that if it is moved by the wind and makes a noise, it is a wind chime. In some areas of the world chimes are used to predict the weather changes. For instance if the wind comes from the north or north west it may mean a storm or colder weather is on its way. If a chime is positioned on the north side of the house so only a north wind will move it, it can alert the inhabitants to a weather change. A south wind could mean milder temperatures are on their way, so the chime is mounted on the south side. See also tubular bell.

    Chimes Of Death


    The Chimes of Death are the Macintosh equivalent of a IBM PC POST error beep. Often, the Chimes of Death are accompanied by a Sad Mac icon in the middle of the screen. Different Macintosh series used different death chimes. The Macintosh II was the first to use death chimes (an upward chord). The Macintosh Quadra and Performa lines played a six-tone chord in F minor. The NuBus PowerMac series and Macintosh Quardra AV used a bongo drum sound, while the pre-G3 PCI PowerMacs used a car crash sound. The beige G3 PowerMacs used a the sound of glass breaking. In Mac OS X, the Chimes of Death are no longer used. In place of them and the Sad Mac logo, there is a new symbol called the Prohibitory sign. The Chimes of Death have been said to have been recorded from the theme to the television show, ''The Twilight Zone''. You can hear the death chimes of any Mac by downloading http://www.mactracker.ca/ MacTracker. It will give you information on every Mac ever made, including a sample of any Mac's start-up and death chimes. Category:Macintosh firmware
