The noon chime of the clock in the Great Court of Trinity College, Cambridge.

The clock chimes the hours twice, with the second set of chimes at a higher pitch (allegedly for the benefit of the neighbouring college). At noon this leads to a full chime lasting 46 seconds. The college has a tradition called the Great Court Run, in which students attempt to run the 367 metres around the perimeter of the court before the clock finishes chiming at noon.

The Great Court Run was portrayed in the film and book Chariots of Fire'
