For those here who went to college/university at one point, perhaps you remember the sound of the bell tower tolling every hour, on the hour...used to wake up to that tune every morning; kind of miss it.

Question is, what is the name of that song, and where can I procure a rather decent rendition of it for myself, so I can set it as my morning wake-up alarm?

Examples, pal. Google turned up many different variations. I'm sure there are music programs out there that'd let you even make your own.

I use this as my alarm, set to maximum volume level, of course. Wakes me up better than anything.

I assume he means the one at the beginning of this video.

Probably not this one.

Typically it's called the Westminster Quarters or Westminster Chimes.  http://www.answers.com/topic/westminster-quarters

It's pretty standard for church bells, clocktowers and grandfather clocks.

I used to use the first 5 seconds of this:

I think I pissed my neighbors off something awful.  I never put it back on my phone when I upgraded my iPhone, though.
