Went to Merriam-Webster for the definition of "Chime...

All this talk of "Chime" made me wonder what it really meant and if folks using it really meant what the dictionary defines it as.



Here's what I found :

Main Entry: 2chime
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): chimed; chim·ing
Date: 14th century

intransitive verb 1 a : to make a musical and especially a harmonious sound

Then I looked up "Raspy" that another poster had used:
Main Entry: raspy
Pronunciation: \?ras-p?\
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): rasp·i·er; rasp·i·est
Date: 1838

1 : harsh, grating

:idea: Just a thought-I'm wondering if the knob should perhaps have wording such as "Chime" on one side and "Rasp" on the other side of it ??? "Sweet-Sour"/ "Mellow-Ruff"/, etc
 
When used as a conjunctive pronoun it can mean: "Over thinking or over analyzing something".

What about this one...

Chyme: a semiliquid mass of partially digested food that passes from the stomach through the pyloric sphincter into the duodenum

:D
