Many of the ideas here basically advocate replacing the "ding dong" sound with something different. Well, why not make it completely customizable? The "sound box" part of the doorbell has a removable USB flash drive. Just remove the drive, upload a .wav or .mp3 file to it, replace it back in the doorbell
and voila!
(???) You mean like this?

Phones and doorbells should make a ringing sound, dammit!

(Chuckles to himself as he secretly replaces [TheJeff]'s doorbell chime with a .wav of complete silence). |

[k_sra]: I think, if you look at your link again, you'll see it's not quite the same as this idea. Your link is for a product preloaded with a sound file. This idea allows the user to change their own sound file at will. Please consider removing your [m-f-d]. |

Touche [Tabs]. The possibilities for amusement are endless - I'm warming to this idea. I could replace my doorbell with a recording of me shouting "Madge, there's somebody at the door!" and never have to leave my seat again. |

Of course the caller would also hear it, so I could use a recording of "Hold on I'm coming" and chuckle contendedly while I'm at work, at the queue of callers waiting in vain outside my house. |

a "this house belongs to satan" ring could deal with unwanted mormons & jehovah witness' |

I was just thinking about this while browsing home depot's crappy doorbell selection. Good thinking, this. |
|
| |
a recording of somebody yelling "get the gun" with some sounds of tourture in the backdrop would scare a lot of people away, so I find this to be a perfect idea |

If you called this the iDoorbell you could link it into iTunes and charge people to change their doorbell bell tone. |

They could be the new ringtones. |
