Abstract

An electronic chime wherein at least two different audible frequency signals forming chime sound are generated by a frequency divider oscillated by an oscillating circuit capable of adjusting its output standard frequency clock pulse. These audible frequency signals are respectively amplitude modulated so as to be attenuated stepwise, and the chime sound is generated by such modulated signals and caused to disappear at attenuated state.
