Listening to the Church Bells at Noon

The bells at this church seem to have an "am" chime and a "pm" chime.

The "am" chime is the familiar chime that you hear on a grandfather clock. The "pm" chime is something that I have never heard before.

This video was made at 12 noon, so this is the "pm" chime.

I thought that it was interesting that there were around 18 gongs after the chime. There should have only been 12.

The bells don't begin to chime until around a minute into the video.

The bells are not real bells. The sound comes from loud speakers near the top of the church steeple.

What  is the name of this Church?

[moparmonster1965]

The 'grandfather clock' chime is the Westminster chime, and if this is the Angelus, we know it's an RCC.

From the sound I can tell this is a Maas-Rowe Digital Chronobell playing the Angelus strike.

Yuck---fake bells.

[captaincook71]

this time of bells is calling "the angelus":

you heard the 3x3 bell's sound, and you say a part of the angelus prayer all the 3 dongs (in fact, the prayer is in 4 parts) and you finish when it ring a lot.

I wrote it because you said : "The "pm" chime is something that I have never heard before." =D
