Why Remuera sounds like this
A string quartet plays a plain, stately cadence. Remuera is old Auckland money: villas, tree-lined streets and grand homes on the slopes of Ōhinerau. The quartet is the most polite chime on the network, which suits the suburb.
Inside the chime
Remuera's chime runs about 5 seconds, in two parts. Every station's chime ends on its family's signature, so you can tell roughly where you are by ear.
