The most likely answer is that there are several variations heard every hour on the hour, on the half-hour, and the other two \u2013 on the quarter-hour (15&#038;45 minutes).<\/p>\n<p>The pitch and the sequence \u2013 this is what makes the difference.  The on-the-hour chimes begin on a high-pitched note, then the melody goes down, whereas the quarter-hour chimes commence with a low-pitched note with melody line going up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oontz.ru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/clockwork915930.jpg\" alt=\"\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0440\u0430, \u0441\u0435\u0440\u0433\u0438\u0435\u0432, \u043a\u0443\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0442\u044b\"\/><\/p>\n<p>But even within the same pattern the dissimilarities are pretty obvious.
