It's the same type of sound as the famed "Westminster Chime", which according to Wikipedia  is the most common name for a melody used by a set of clock bells to chime on each quarter hour. The number of chime sets matches the number of quarter hours that have passed. It is also known as the Westminster Chimes, or theCambridge Chimes from its place of origin, the church of St Mary the Great, Cambridge.

But the specific version the Lakers use is from the opening of 90's tune "Workaholic" buy 2 Unlimited. Peep the video above if you don't believe it. How was this tone selected? We'd love to find out-- does anyone know someone at Staples Center or AEG?
