Hi! I've been intrigued recently on what chip originally produces this sound: https://youtu.be/iNpXCzaWW1s Unhappily all the physical devices I tracked down are using epoxi blobs :/ Do anyone have any idea? |

I have a bedside alarm clock that has the same chime. It is about 30 years old. Made in Japan .. HOSEKI. See photos. |

Thank you so much! ^-^ I'm researching it now, it seems that this DIP-8 STP2740C is still sold, but most datasheets websites have no idea what it is and redirect to similar identifications that are mosfets :-// Not even STM (supposedly) seems to remember manufacturing these |

It's just a generic sound produced by huge number of different clocks and watches. There is no one specific chip that does it, there are hundreds if not thousands of them. |

Simple way to mimic it is to record the sound and reduce the amount of data to low sample rate 8 bits per sample and use a small microcontroller with PWM output to play it back. |
