1074 forum posts 290 photos | We need a wireless doorbell that sounds like the old fashioned electric doorbells. The few I've seen proudly offer a number of different tunes or chimes, which we don't like, but don't include the standard old fashioned doorbell ring. Does such a thing exist?

1074 forum posts 290 photos | Harry and John, yes, I mean a 'brrrrrnnnngggg', not a 'ding dong ding dong', nor a Westminster chime or any other 'tuned' noise. |

Personall I feel you should have a proper bell pull with appropriate brass rodding down to the servants quarters. regards Martin |

![]() 2668 forum posts 352 photos | I recently bought what i think is an amazing door bell. It came with 2 plug in units & of course a door bell push button. 1 is in the house Completely wireless & the other way down in the bottom of the garden in my workshop. The distance it works at is brilliant & just goes ding dong. Cheap as fish, (as chips are quite expensive these days) Steve. |

1074 forum posts 290 photos | Trouble is, SWMBO doesn't want "ding dong". She just wants the standard 'brrrnnnng'. Edited By Gary Wooding on 24/08/2020 09:17:44 |

7227 forum posts 21 photos | I bought a wireless door bell from LIDL. It offers a range of sounds. BRINNGGG included It would be OK indoors, but then range is short, it seems Unfortunately, the signal does not pass well through our walls, ( Purely line of sight ) so the receiver sits under a baby alarm which signals through the mains to the shop!

1074 forum posts 290 photos | Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll see if LIDL still has them, but if not I'll try the mp3 route. |
