Don't yell. I co-teach in a room with 50 kids. The other teacher yells frequently. I don't. I can control the room and she can't. She nearly has an anxiety attack daily because of it.
You have to come up with your own system of rewards and consequences that the students actually care about individually. I take my 8th graders outside once per week to just play sports or do whatever they want on the track. They know that when I ring my high pitched chime, they have three seconds to stop talking. If they don't, I write down the names of the offenders and they don't go out at the end of the week. You should get some kind of high pitched noise because everyone hears it regardless of volume. If you try to use your voice, you have to be louder than the entire class and it's hard to do that without yelling. I use this one
The trick is to not let anyone know who is on the list until right before you go outside. Otherwise kids who are on the list will just say fuck it and torture you all week. They won't remember talking at an inappropriate time, so I make sure to write down "Jeremias -- talking to Alyssa after chime," in case they accuse me of lying.
Also, and this is where I disagree with the top comment--do not use blanket punishments. If 20 kids are doing great and the same 5 kids fuck it up for everyone, not only is it not fair to punish the 20 kids, but they will stop caring because they'll know there is a high chance that they're going to lose their privilege anyway through no fault of their own.
The more thoughtful conferences all tend to use one of these instead of mic tapping. For $11, I'm starting to think I might have to get one for the gig bag.

I don't know about the album, but the sound you describe sounds like chimes: https://www.amazon.com/TreeWorks-Chimes-TRE417-Single-14-Bar/dp/B001U3YBFQ
Was it something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnfNLKXLp3E
Most albums that feature chimes do so in combination with other instruments, such as piano, organ, or even full orchestra.
I have seen teachers use a 3 pipe chime, I use a 1 pipe chime. I like the 3 pipe one, sweet variety of sounds, but the one with just one works just as well. Here is the link:
After my colleagues saw me using one, they bought their own. That price is really good! I paid double!
could get her a zenergy chime if she doesn't have one yet. my mom used to have one and they're only about $10.
My girlfriend and I live in a tiny cabin in the woods with our three cats, next to a field with donkeys, a goat and a sheep, and our driveway leads to a private wooded trail. It is a ridiculously beautiful, cute and idyllic place to live, and when I lie down in the hammock on our wrap-around porch, one thing I'm missing is the sound of windchimes. I love the deep and reverberating tones of the larger chimes, but they are not cheap, so I've been waiting for a birthday, or a bonus at work...or a bonus on Reddit??? Haha seriously, this is such an unexpected, but lovely thing to do, especially because of the good vibes it spreads to all of us, just from the thought of being able to do the same thing one day. Thank you for reminding us how good it feels to help someone else <3
