Four-note mall PA chime.

Why Sylvia Park sounds like this
A chime rises to the octave, the kind a shopping-centre PA plays before an announcement. Sylvia Park is one of the country's biggest shopping centres, and the station opens almost onto its doors. So the chime is the mall's own: the sound that comes just before "attention, shoppers".
Inside the chime
Sylvia Park's chime runs about 3 seconds, in two parts. Every station's chime ends on its family's signature, so you can tell roughly where you are by ear.
