Big Ben, the Great Bell of the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster in London, plays a series of notes that create a distinctive chime. The notes are traditionally recognized as E, E, F#, G#, B, E, D, C#. When it chimes the quarter-hour and the hour, it produces a melody that is both iconic and easily recognizable. The exact sequence can vary slightly depending on the time of day and the specific chime being rung.
