Clock Chime Sound Effect

📝 Description

The clock chime is time announcing itself with ceremony — deep, measured strokes from a grandfather clock or tower bell that turn an ordinary hour into an event. Storytelling has assigned it real power: chimes mean deadlines arriving, spells breaking, and midnight doing whatever midnight does in that particular tale. Use it for dramatic time-passage moments, deadline edits, and New Year countdowns, or as the ominous marker before something changes. A single chime is a note; twelve are a plot. Either way, the clock has spoken — and stories obey the clock.
