Need Door Bell generator IC or kit

[Eric]

I would like to hook up a door bell generator to the paging input of my
whole house audio system. The only thing I really need is something that
will generate a "ding-dong" when a contact is closed. I see some kits on the
web but I am wondering if anyone has actually done this and what they have
used. I am looking to buy this in the USA. I could probably wire up a
circuit with an IC but I don't know who sells this stuff retail, like in a
Radio Shack or whatever. The number of the IC would be helpful. Please
advise. Thanks.

If you have a NuTone system, they have a module that plugs in for that I
believe.

Found an expensive option at

Let me know if you find something cheaper, or available as a kit.
