The '''town tune''' is the small melody that plays whenever the player talks to a [[character]], whenever the Clock Tower bell rings, and whenever the player enters a building. A town tune can range anywhere from 1 to 15 notes, as well as the ability to choose one that will play a random sharp or flat note. In the original {{PG}}, players can change the town tune by facing the billboard next to the [[Post Office]]. In {{WW}} and {{CF}}, the player can change the town tune by going into [[Town Hall]] and then the civic center. In {{NL}}, the player can change the town tune in the mayor's office. Players can talk to [[Pelly]] or [[Phyllis]] ([[Isabelle]] in New Leaf), select ''Town tune'', and adjust the notes.

Prior to ''New Leaf'', the town tune can also be played on instruments that can be bought in [[Tom Nook]]'s. If music is playing at the same time, the instrument plays at the same speed.

The town tune is present in every single mainline {{SER}} game as well as {{HHD|short}}, though it is not able to be customized in the latter game.
  
Sometimes when the town tune is played while talking to a character, it can tell the player a little about that [[villager]]'s personality depending on the instruments that play. Cranky villagers may make the tune sound somewhat strange, peppy villagers will make the tune sound bouncy and normal villagers will take the player's tune and make it perky.

The layout of the town tune. Given its simplistic nature, there are no sharps or flats on regular notes

The Town Tune, known as the Island Tune in New Horizons, is a small melody that in various places throughout town. The player can customise the melody to their liking; it can be between 1-to-15 notes, and there is the option to play a random sharp or flat note.

The town tune is present in every single mainline Animal Crossing series game as well as Happy Home Designer, though it is not able to be customized in the latter game.

In the games

The town tune will play in the following situations:

  • Whenever the player talks to a villager or special character. Each character plays a unique variation of the town tune with instruments and timing that reflect their personality.
  • When the clock tower bell rings, the chime of the bells will follow the town tune sequence.
  • Whenever the player opens a door a rapid sped-up chime version of the town tune will play.
  • Prior to New Leaf, the town tune can be played whenever the player interacts with an instrument. The tune will be played at the same speed as any music playing in the room.

The method of changing the town tune differs between the games. In Animal Crossing, players can change the town tune by interacting with the Melody Board outside of the Post Office. In Wild World and City Folk, the player can change the town tune by talking to Pelly or Phyllis at the Civic Center in the Town Hall. In New Leaf and New Horizons, the player can change the town tune by talking to Isabelle in the Town Hall.

In Animal Crossing, villagers will occasionally ask the player to change the town tune. They'll describe the Melody Board as "the board with the little froggies on it."
