Actually tinkle, tinkle, tinkle sounds more like it to me (like rattling
a chain) but hey, I just roll with the flow and have seen the various
terms used here. That is why at one point in my mail I called it
ping/pink/pinque.
As long as we all know what we are talking about.
I have always used 'ping' myself but when I listen to it, the 'pink'
actually sounds more like it.
