Why Panmure sounds like this

Calm water under a harp that ripples slowly upward, then rolls its top notes once more. Panmure Basin, near the station, is the flooded crater of one of Auckland's volcanoes, a near-round lagoon that fills and empties with the tide. The harp is its surface, smooth and slowly rippling.

Inside the chime

Panmure'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.

    Harp over still water. No other station plays it.

  2. 2

    The East family's log drum 0.7 s

    Two log-drum strikes, high then low, each with a wooden note on top. It starts at Ōrākei, the first stop east of the tunnel, and runs down to Sylvia Park.
