777 Altitude Alerting

Does anybody fly a 777 that gives an Aural alert when approaching a selected altitude? The one I fly will give an aural alert when departing a captured altitude by about 300 feet from.
I have heard of some airplanes that ,when hand flying, will give an aural alert approaching about 900' from a selected altitude. This aural alert will not sound if the autopilot is flying the aircraft.
If you have this on your airplane would you please describe it and tell me what Boeing calls this system?
Thanks,
Phil
