Searching for the chip that produces this tone

Hi!

I've been intrigued recently on what chip originally produces this sound:

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.

nocamig429:
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

wraper:
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.

You meant to say "I had a bedside alarm clock"  :-DD

Most will be simple non volatile memory based playback devices. 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.
