Some are loud, some are quiet.  Sometimes you’ll press one and won’t hear anything at all.  Some play a popular television theme.  A doorbell chime can be as individual as its owner, and there are many different styles and types on the market to choose from.

The main problem with any kind of doorbell chime is that it can’t always be heard from all areas of your house.  If you are standing in the kitchen at the back of your house with the washing machine on final spin, you’d be hard pressed to hear even the loudest doorbell.

A Solution To The Common Doorbell Chime Problem

If you dislike the appearance of wires coming through your front door from the doorbell and into the box itself, why not opt for a wireless doorbell?

These are very cheap – usually only a few dollars – and most of them come pre-programmed with a wide range of different chimes, from the musical ones to the simple ‘ding dong’ version.

The advantage with these is that you can sit the main box on a table in the hall instead of permanently attaching it to the wall.  You can then carry it with you whenever you go to a part of your home where you know you are unlikely to hear the bell if anyone calls.

Check the range of the unit before buying.  Many of them will work even if you take them into the garden with you.  It’s also a good idea to buy the smallest unit you can find, for simple ease of use.

Can You Buy A Doorbell Chime For A Hard Of Hearing Person?

Yes you can.  These types of doorbell usually emit a flashing light when the doorbell chime sounds.  The person carries a small unit with them so they can see the flashing light.  These units can also clip to the waistband and vibrate to alert the person.

Opting For A Novelty Doorbell Chime

Popular television series such as “The Simpson’s” have made novelty doorbell chimes available to buy.  These are often programmed to utter phrases from the show rather than play a tune.

So it seems your doorbell chime can be as versatile as you want it to be.  You can even buy a fully programmable one, so your doorbell chime can be anything you can think of.  Whether it’s your favourite television theme, your favourite song, or even something you’re known for saying, it can now be your doorbell chime.
