And when it's a bit noisy, it will sound so softly out the speaker like a clock tower chiming in the distance.
In the earphones, it greatly replicates the heavy yet soft iron bells' sound. The sound is great, and not tinny at all in my iPod touch's tinny speaker. The volume is not adjustable, but it sounds at just the right level, loud and clear enough to be well heard yet never too loud as to disturb or to grab the attention of the people around you. And, I'm also extremely satisfied with the sound quality. So I should have waited to post my review! Because after missing two straight quarterhours, the app started working fine, even while inactive (or "killed"), and hasn't missed a single chime since. Turns out I hadn't given the app the time to fully deploy its components and get fully working, as happens often with Apple iDevice apps. Let me rectify my shot with my "False representation" review.
In particular to Dave, whose persistence finally motivated us to release this new version. Thanks to all who left comments and suggestions for improvement. NB Sounds will only play through earphones on 1st gen iPod Touch. Having it chime every quarter of an hour and toll on the hour (the chiming and tolling sounds will play even when the app is not open, so long as your device is not muted and you allow notifications in the General Settings for Big Ben) Have your iPhone (or iPod Touch) display the time of day in style. 1859 was the beginning for all three elements when the Clock Tower was completed, the Great Clock started on 31 May and the Great Bell’s chimes were heard for the first time on 11 July. The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but the name was first given to the Great Bell. During 2009, the UK Parliament celebrated the 150th anniversary of its world famous Clock Tower, Great Clock and Great Bell.
