Door Bell Chimes
The chimes that let you know someone is at the door can do a lot more than just go "ding dong" these days. Because of digital technology and the ability doorbell manufacturers have to put lots of variety on a chip, you can have just about any kind of chimes you want to hear when someone presses that button on your front porch. Because you can individualize your doorbell to your own tastes or even to any given occasion, that takes a mundane part of your home and gives it some real personality.
Once you install a doorbell system that allows you to customize your chimes, the sky is the limit what you can do with that system. The seasonal possibilities alone make it worth upgrading to this kind of doorbell system. What better way to greet guests to a weekend football party than to have the school fight song of the college team you are all cheering for greet the guests as they arrive for the fun. You can also customize those chimes to fit specific holidays such as holiday music for the Christmas season or "The Monster Mash" to get a smile from the trick or treaters at Halloween.
We have gotten used to very customized "ring tones" on our cell phones. You are not surprised at all when one person might have a Beethoven sonata tell her that a call is coming in and sitting right next to her on the bus is someone who uses a song by Metallica or The Beatles for the same function. Now this kind if individualization of our lives is coming even to the chimes you use for your doorbell. Just imagine if your favorite pop song or oldies classic could ring out across the house when people come to visit. It not only would give you a lot of joy, it makes a statement about who you are as a person just as much as the art on the walls or the books in your bookshelves do.
Being able to customize the tone of your doorbell can also become part of a big surprise you might be planning for a child or your spouse on his or her birthday. Just imagine if you configure the doorbell to play your little girls favorite Hannah Montana song or your teenage sons favorite rap song that is his favorite this month. Or imagine if after a hard working day, your spouse comes home to that great Sinatra song he loves or to the chimes of a beautiful romantic tune that might set the tone for a little primate romance that will fill your evening.
This is a technology worth looking into. The costs are a little higher than a conventional doorbell and you will have learn how to customize the chimes. But before long, you will be thinking of new tones to sing out from your doorbell that will add a lot of fun to the simple act of being alerted that someone is at the door.
