Does anyone have a strange doorbell?

So does anyone else here have a doorbell that does something other than the usual boring 'ding dong'?

We have a rather cool one that you can upload MP3s onto (although it doesnt like music and distortes it for some reason, only handles speech properly). At the moment its got a sound file from Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy :sunglasse

 

i had a friend who had a doorbell that went "woof woof" ...that was pretty fun

 

My doorbell sounds like a drill

 

We've got one that emits a smell instead of a sound.

At the moment its set to 'gas leak in a brothel'.

 

I don't have a doorbell!! I keep meaning to get one as I cannie hear the knocking

 

"Hey, do you smell escaping gas?"
"Yes, but it's ten pounds extra."

 

was that a joke?


my doorbell is not my doorbell, but the doorbell that i know as my temporary doorbell is, in fact, a doorbell that makes the sound of a doorbell.

 

I have a well-weird doorbell. It IS a bell too... not some electronic thing.

It was attached to the front door of my flat when I moved in in the late 80's. I assume it was installed by the granny who lived here previously.

Most of it's on the outside of the door... just a plate that it's bolted to on the inside. It works by pressing on the bell itself, which then rotates and "rings" beneath the fingers of the presser. When it runs down turning the bell clockwise winds it up again.

Thing is... the above is only learned through experience. Casual callers have no clue and I get endless entertainment from listening to ppl fiddling with it. Most take to winding it up. Especially funny, is if it gets over-wound then pressed, it spins really rapidly, the momentum of the bell makes it rotate offa the screw that holds it in place and it goes bouncing off up the communal hallway making one hell of a din.

I'm pretty much stuck with it... cuz a couple of fairly wide screws go through the door to hold it in place. Remove those and ppl could look through anytime. Nothing a bit of Polyfilla wouldn't solve but I really can't be arsed.

DEFINITELY a strange doorbell, anyway,

 

my door bell at home made a 'dingdong' noise, but it was a weird 'dingdong' noise... but aparently it kept breaking and theres a new one there now which plays its a small world, or whatever its called...

here we have a warble and a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.... its annoying at 2am when someone rings either one of them

 

thats awesome... can i come round for tea?

 

We used to have a really cool doorbell that played frosty the snowman and lots of other cool things, but then it broke so we resorted back to knocking. Then my boyfriend's mother goes and buys us a sodding electronic chime doorbell.. ewwwww
