Door Bell Chime

When you think about it, everything in your house sends a message to your guests. From the colors of the carpet and walls to the paintings you have on display to the various family items you have arranged into decorative displays on the tables and shelves, you home tells the story of you. So in a way, what your doorbell says when it rings out can become part of that story you are telling. All you need do is put some thought and creative design into the kind of chime you want to have come from your doorbell and you can take charge of that message it is sending to everyone in the house.

There was a time, a long time ago, when "ding dong" was the only tone your doorbell could make. But that time passed decades ago. As technology caught up even with the ages old art of making doorbells, we have had the ability to buy doorbells that can play our favorite sports team's fight song, a snippet of a classical song or a pop tune we just love to hear each time someone rings the front doorbell. It really is just a matter of doing some shopping to find out that the variety that is available to you in doorbells is pretty vast. And that variety only continues to expand rapidly as digital technology makes even more options available each year.

There is nothing like a sound of a harp sending soothing tones throughout the house every time that front doorbell is pressed. For that elegant feel, this kind of chime can blend in beautifully with a tasteful décor that emphasizes the arts and everything we associate with fine living. Not only will that banquet of tones give everyone in the house joy each time the doorbell is rung, from the doorstep your guests will know immediately that this is a house there fine music is appreciated even in the little things.

Of course, there is a lot of fun that can be incorporated into doorbell sounds that you might use for a chime. The world of special effects has come a long way so the sound of a cow mooing, a favorite humorous quote from a movie or television show or a snippet of a funny song such as one of the many great tunes made by Weird Al Yankovich can really bring a smile to everyone's face when the doorbell is used.

Don’t be surprised if people slip out and press the doorbell just to hear the interesting things you have done with that simple and common sound. From snippets of songs that make people feel like dancing to a doorbell that puts you in the special romantic mood, let your imagination get involved in what you use as the chimes for that little bell rung from the front door. And once you start having some fun with your doorbell sounds, you will never go back to "ding dong" again.
