Wind Chimes Alarm Sound
Metal wind chimes ringing for a minute and a half, fading in slowly. Like sleeping with the window open on a breezy morning.
The recording
Metal wind chimes recorded indoors, so there is no wind noise, only the chimes. They start softly and drift in and out for about 90 seconds, never in the same pattern twice.
Recorded by giddster and shared on Freesound as “Wind chimes 1” under CC0: free to use for anything. We volume-matched it and made the phone files.
Who it’s for
Great for: Light sleepers and weekend mornings with nowhere to be.
Skip it if: You need to be up at a fixed time. Soft sounds are easy to sleep through.

Questions people ask
Are wind chimes good to wake up to?
They are one of the gentlest options: random, soft and high, with no sudden start. They suit light sleepers; everyone else should add a backup alarm.
Why does the wind chime alarm start so quietly?
The recording fades in over about 8 seconds, like chimes catching a breeze. That slow start is what makes it gentle, so turn your alarm volume up a bit.
