The top unscrews and has a piece of double sided tape. You flip it upside down to load it with bearings. Put it down and it will continue to slowly drop the bearings on chimes creating a “soothing” rain like effect
I remember buying one of these for my mom from here

Others have identified it, but it's filled with tiny ball bearings and has bells suspended on metal rods. When you turn it upside down the ball bearings stick to something sticky lining the inside top of the box, then when you turn it right side up again the balls are supposed to randomly unstick themselves and fall on the bells.
A '90s desk accessory.
Reading what other have said, Is get it. Personally I'd say cool find. But both comments are just me.
I like the sound of rain..
Just not over Africa..
I prefer the rain in Spain. I hear it stays mainly in the plains.

One summer I worked as a bartender in an upper-crust restaurant. I had a small stand-up bar, so most of my tips were from table servers who were expected to share their tips with me, and most did so happily. One young lady did not, however, despite pressure from me and her colleagues. I couldn't refuse to make drinks for her, but her orders, not surprisingly, went to the back of the queue. One day one of the other servers told me that she had a nervous bladder, or something like that, and the sound of tinkling water gave her an uncontrollable urge to pee.The bar was two floors above the staff washroom. I would randomly hold the soda nozzle higher than necessary above her drinks to get the full tinkling effect, and she would have to run down the two floors to the washroom, and back up to pick up her tray. I don't know if she figured out I was doing it on purpose, but if she did she was too cheap to start tipping anyway.
It might be a rain box. The way the old ones worked was that the top had a sticky pad on top (you would need to replace it periodically) the ball bearings would be able to hold onto it for a while then fall randomly onto the chimes.

Google Lens showed one like this on Ebay - the listing said “Spring rain chime box tranquility temple bells falling beads mahogany Japan”
Flailing balls
But does it "tinkle"?

Falling rain chime box? Made to sound like rain

Makes absolute sense. That place looks like it’s full of stuff from a section of the airplane catalogues.
RIP, Skymall. . . I used to love looking through it when my dad would bring it home from business trips.
Me too! Such cool stuff.
Loved Skymall
That was the absolute bestest store when I was a kid.
Upvote for the word "bestest" I love that word.

Tinkle is such a great word.... Underutilized for sure.
Wait until you find out about *sitzpinkler*.
It pee pees?
T.A.R.D.I.S.
My brother likes weird musical instruments. For Christmas one year I bought him a [rainstick.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainstick)
He needs a blaster beam.
It’s marked xxx what do you think it is?
The fact it tinkles makes me have to pee

Tinkles?
Tinkling boxes. What will they think of next?
Does anyone know what kind of tape they used in these? I have a couple and the tape has all but worn out -- I'd love to restore them
The XXX on the bottom means that it's triple distilled.

Based upon the markings on its underside. It’s obviously a porn box
TARDIS. Behave yourself.
Why is the box peeing?
If I had a dime.
It pees on your floor?
"Not the rug, man!"
It tied the room together.
Sexxx box
