Why Drury sounds like this
Two hammers knock in a steady, lopsided rhythm while a chord builds upward. Drury is one of Auckland's fastest-growing places, with farmland turning into streets and houses around the station. The chord climbs as the frames go up.
Inside the chime
Drury's chime runs about 4 seconds, in two parts. Every station's chime ends on its family's signature, so you can tell roughly where you are by ear.
