doorbell chime
Visitor alert sound
A doorbell chime is the sound a doorbell makes, or the mechanism that produces it.
Traditional doorbells use metal tubes struck by a hammer to create a two-tone ding-dong.
The term distinguishes melodic chimes from buzzing or electronic sounds: We upgraded from a harsh buzzer to a pleasant chime.
