tintinnabulation

The noun tintinnabulation refers to a bell-like sound, like the tintinnabulation of wind chimes blowing in the breeze.
The sound of bells ringing, like church bells on a Sunday morning, can be called tintinnabulation. You can describe
similar sounds that way, too — like the telephone's tintinnabulation or the tintinnabulation of your sister's silver
bracelets tinkling together as she walks. The Latin word tintinnabulum means "bell," and Edgar Allen Poe popularized
tintinnabulation's usage in the aptly named poem "The Bells."
