Can I customize a doorbell with a Star Wars sound?

I'm running out of ideas. I am trying to find a doorbell that lets you use a custom sound. My boyfriend loves Star Wars and I want to get him one that plays Obi-Wan Kenobi saying "hello there." I have looked everywhere and I can't find a product that lets you upload an MP3 or record your own sound.

Can you somehow modify a regular doorbell to play a custom audio file?
 
You can customize a smart doorbell, such as the Ring Doorbell 2, to play unique sounds by using a service like IFTTT to trigger a sound file you've stored in the cloud. This allows you to upload your favorite audio and have it play whenever someone presses the doorbell.
 
If you want something simple, the Ring Chime Pro is likely your best pick. Your boyfriend will enjoy the classic Ring sound when someone arrives
 
Most off-the-shelf doorbells won't let you upload custom audio. They're locked into whatever tones they ship with. If you want "hello there," you'll either need a smart speaker tie-in (like Alexa routines) or hack the guts of a wireless chime with a small MP3 module.
 
There are some smart doorbells or DIY chimes that let you upload custom sounds or another route is a small Raspberry Pi or Arduino setup with a speaker
 
Has anyone tried using a Honeywell Home Doorbell or Broan-NuTone? I found a post that you can customize the ringtones for these doorbells. I am not sure what specific model I need to get and if I need to use an MP3 or MP4 file.
