The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) has an impact on excited spin waves in the chiral magnet Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ by means of introducing asymmetry on their dispersion relations. The confined eigenmodes of a chiral magnet are hence no longer the conventional standing spin waves. Here we report a combined experimental and micromagnetic modeling study by broadband microwave spectroscopy we observe confined spin waves up to eleventh order in bulk Cu$_2$OSeO$_3$ in the field-polarized state. In micromagnetic simulations we find similarly rich spectra. They indicate the simultaneous excitation of both dipole- and exchange-dominated spin waves with wavelengths down to (47.2 $pm$ 0.05) nm attributed to the exchange interaction modulation. Our results suggest DMI to be effective to create exchange spin waves in a bulk sample without the challenging nanofabrication and thereby to explore their scattering with noncollinear spin textures.
