Most front doors feature a standard door knocker that consists of a piece of metal on a hinge. This piece of metal simply strikes the normal surface of the door creating an ugly clunking, rapping, clanking type sound.
The idea is a small inset modification set into the door at the spot where the
knocker strikes the door surface. This could be in pre-built doors or a "kit" for retrofitting existing doors (saw out a square and insert the "Nice Knocker" kit..etc.)
Some kit options:
Woodblock Kit- Uses a musical type "woodblock" so that the door knocker creates a pleasing "CHOCK CHOCK" sound.
Gong, or jamaican steel drum Kit- For a unique metallic sound
Christopher Walken Celebrity Endorsed Kit - Cowbell knocker tone

<sarcastic as hell> Well, seeing as how [etherman] has been here longer than anyone else, then maybe we should all listen to him. </sah> |

I don't really see "this is not a DIY website" as even remotely valid grounds to MFD an idea. Its not a recipe, its not flavor, its an idea about giving door knockers a different sound. |

Clarified the idea a bit.
I suppose it would be easy to confuse this idea with DIY because of the different options I gave for the "striking area". They are just variations on the central idea, which is a special inset into a door to create pleasing sounds when struck by a standard knocker. |

I thought this would be a door knocker in the shape of a breast (in which case I would have mentioned that I met someone who built that.) |
|
| |
wondering why they don't come in pairs? |
|
| |
also bothered why the woodblock differs from the wooden door. |
|
| |
doorknockers here have a metal knocking plate. |

jutta: cute - could you post a picture?
Enjoyer: chimes and xylophones are Baked as door knockers, though you are usually required to strike them with a hammer, rather than raise a knocker. |
