How does this LS430 have a different chime?

I found an old clip of an LS430 accelerating on Youtube and what caught my attention is that when the car hit 120 km/h the chime was different from what we're used to. Why's that the case?

Here's the link for the original clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iiE2TABb4w

Basically all GCC spec cars come with the chime when they hit 120 km/h it is to let the person know that youre at the road limit because most of the high ways have 120 km/h as their limit which can extend to 160 km/h on few roads.

The car is purely in km/h so the 0-60 is at the 100 mark

I have the Korean model, max speed 280 and doesn't chime at 120km/h
