Usually, it goes ding-dong. But on occasion, between 5 & 6pm, I get twinkle twinkle little star and a few other tunes.

You see my predicament?
Post Script...the doorbell ordinarily goes "ding dong". Sometimes when it rings for no reason it does go ding dong. but usually when ringing for no reason, it plays tunes. But I have no function for picking type of ring, I can only control the volume. So explain that one to me...

Is it, by any chance, a wireless doorbell? I have one, and so does my next door neighbour. They run off the same frequency, and because the houses are relatively close, my receiver picks up their button, if you know what I mean. Luckily, we've worked it out, and we have different rings anyway, so if it goes with a two tone ring, we know it's our door, but if it goes with a four tone ring, we know it's next door and don't bother getting up. Hubby assures me there is a way of changing the frequency in the bell part (as opposed to the button part, before you lot start... :roll: )... |
