ding dong
Bell's two notes
Ding dong imitates the sound of a bell, especially a doorbell: Ding dong! Anyone home?
The phrase extends to back-and-forth exchanges—a ding-dong battle swings repeatedly between competitors.
As slang, a ding dong is a foolish person: Don't be such a ding dong.
The term can also refer informally to a penis.
