Wind chimes
Updated 22 October 2026
Wind chimes turn the wind into music. These are real metal chimes, from one of the most liked wind chime recordings on Freesound, played from random points with soft crossfades so the pattern never repeats.

How to set it up

- For fewer chimes, open it in the sound masker and lower Wind chimes. Higher levels ring more often.
- For meditation, add Drone or Singing bowl.
Why chimes sound good together
Many chimes are tuned to a pentatonic scale, five notes with no clashing intervals. Any combination sounds pleasant, which is perfect for an instrument played by the wind.
Wind chimes for sleep?
Chimes are lovely for relaxing, but each one is a little event. For sleep, keep them very low or turn them off after you wind down.
