Hi, I apologize if this has been answered, but I was wondering if buying the office/kitchen/workshop upgrades helped speed up career advancement?

Also, I hear 2 kinds of chimes. One sounds like bigger chimes you'd hang from a porch, and they seem to be part of the ambient sounds. The other is a tiny chime-like sound that *seems* to sound when a new collectible has shown up in the general vicinity. Is it my imagination, or does this smaller, quieter, higher-pitched chime sound indicate a collectible has landed nearby?
